Absolutely. You risk an endless cycle of the ghost town effect in that scenario (people floating on an island by themselves, to zero benefit). I'd wager it's better to have only 100 users with one medical code, than 10,000 users all with different codes. Those 100 users ignite the function of the system, its desired feedback mechanism. I suspect there are some large, very common targets you can choose from to get started. Your challenge is probably deciding whether to target a more common medical code, or one with greater user intensity (people that are more frustrated; a higher intensity factor might be ideal for starting the system around; it's an interesting trade-off).
Do you believe your experience is common, or that you are an outlier?
Agreeing to not have kids feels like some sort of gut instinct appeal. Not entirely sure from where it stems - maybe guilt for climate change and mass extinctions?

The people who would look to do better for the planet would just maybe have children who would do the same. It’s not assured, of course, but such a parent certainly loads the deck in favor if they’re otherwise good, supportive and informative parents.

I have been using this service for about a year and a half now and I have to say the cost is great but you get what you pay for. It's very unreliable (drops incoming calls, and incoming texts are delayed very frequently) and there are lots of places my friends will have coverage that I will simply have no network at all. So it's servicable, and I would recommend for e.g. a hobby project that needs a cell data connection like a Pinephone/Librem 5, but not for critical cell lines that you need to guarantee won't miss calls.

Yes, there is a market for things that do this - it's the projector market, so if people don't have the money to enter the projector market they use hacks like this one - examples

https://www.instructables.com/id/Convert-a-40-years-old-DIA-...

first couple of hits for me when googling "convert old olverhead projector"

So market wise maybe there is a hacky way that allows you to get a cheap reasonably efficient projector thaat would make these hacks irrelevant, without naturally pushing to solve the problems of the projector market and thus pushing the product to have a projector type price. I certainly wish I could think up something that fell in that niche.

France has had a long tradition of these "Voiture sans permis" (car without permit), which usually had a limit on weight and power. They were popular among teenagers learning to drive, poorer residents who couldn't afford larger cars, and unfortunately occasionally drunks who couldn't qualify for a regular license.

In fact, most of Europe for a long time had multiple tiers of licenses for "regular" cars. It's my understanding that part of the popularity of the three wheeled Reliant Robin was caused by the fact that until 2001 you could drive it with a Motorcycle license, which I presume is much easier to get than a full car license. Also, I believe it was cheap.
GCP and Azure both have much better built-in tooling that would make this a few clicks. Their storage system design is also much better. It's unfortunate that the industry has standardized around S3 just because it's a first mover rather than pushing Amazon's product to get better.

Errr, firebug was a copy of IE developer toolbar, which was released at least a year before firebug. I think the original IE Dev toolbar beta release was in 2005, maybe 2006? While firebug came out 2007ish. Looks like MS has finally shut down the blog originally announcing it so can't link to it any more.

IE developer toolbar was actually better for quite a while too.
I'm not convinced that reducing regulations is the way to get rid of monopolies. The first major experience with monopolies in America was before the great depression, when regulations on most businesses were virtually non-existent. Economic history is fairly clear that unregulated markets consolidate into monopolies without regulations to ensure ongoing competition.

While there are certain cases where regulatory capture has created regulations that enforce monopolies, this isn't the case for the entire tech sector in general.

Regulatory monopolies protect telephone, cable, and Internet providers. In some areas it is simply illegal to construct competing communications infrastructure. Under Trump, the national security process is also now being used to protect market incumbents; the TikTok confiscation--that Zuk----rg lobbied for--coming just as Facebook is planning to roll out a TikTok competitor likely isn't a coincidence. Removing these regulations would help competition in these areas, and should be done.

However, outside of these cases, the tech sector in general exists to make a legal revenue stream from loopholes and lack of enforcement in the regulatory regime. Platforms like Uber are only viable businesses because they've been allowed to circumvent both minimum wage laws and regulations surrounding the taxi industry. AirBnB is, fundamentally, an unlicensed franchise hotel operator, and is only viable as long as regulators refuse to require it to abide by the same rules as the rest of the hotel industry. Much of the contemporary video gaming sector is based on evading regulations on gambling. Finally, adtech firms, like Facebook and Google, are only viable because the US has no consumer privacy laws. Taking away what little enforced regulations cover these firms would not benefit consumers or market competition.

Quite frankly, so much of the tech sector was built on the monetization of socially destructive behavior, legal-but-predatory business practices, "regulatory arbitrage", and outright illegality, that large parts of it should be outlawed entirely.
For the record, the saturn V rockets operated at 120GW. Which is also close to a terawatt.
> I don't agree with this.

Probably because you missed the "custom made" part.

> secrecy and avoiding to give away software that is vital to national security.

This would obviously be an exception and the code wouldn't be publicized. But that doesn't mean it can't be open-source to the government itself.

> this would effectively prohibit companies who do proprietary work in the private sector to work with the government at the same time, because they'd be forced to open source their code.

Developing open-source code doesn't mean you have to open-source all your code. Windows is still closed-source despite Visual Studio Code being open.
Could Apple hypothetically use their perpetual license to ARM to license the ISA to other manufacturers if they so desired? (not that they do now, but it could be a saving grace if Nvidia assimilated ARM fully).
The notarization process also filters out apps that give users greater control of their hardware, because they might touch things like private APIs. When the user goes to run the software they chose to download, macOS will treat it as if it's radioactive, giving the user the impression that the application either doesn't work or is malicious.

The end result is that users are left being unable to use their computers in ways that Apple doesn't like.
They sure seem to be marketing this as a logical move for their AI platform.

My phone is a plunger: a tool that I don't like using, but need to use anyway.
I looked at it more. It has both a string type (which has \xHH escapes oddly specified as code points), and a binary type (which is specified as base64 in text format -- this is bad because base64 isn't human-readable despite being ASCII).

The 2 different types makes it unsuitable for the use cases I'm targeting QSN at, which deal only with byte strings, which may be encoded in UTF-8 (like kernel APIs).

I don't see what Ion adds over MessagePack, CBOR, or several other such formats... but that's a different discussion :)
Princeton math prof challenges admins 'systemic racism' narrative
I have heard numerous arguments but they arguments don't feel that compelling, what are reasons why this is bad?
I can already hear some people cry out:

"But they are attacking _our boats_!! We need to do something!"

in believe how there is some evil animal out there, simply out to take away their fun. Then they arm themselves up with harpoons, because:

"Well, not going to shoot them, _unless_ they attack my boat!! It's only self-defense!"

Just like with people, who need to go where polar bears are and arm themselves with rifles, because they might "have no choice" when attacked by starving polar bear.

This is so short sighted. For those people, all that counts is their "fun" while on this planet. They pay for some service, that is available and don't feel any responsibility. Perhaps simply don't f* go there and have fun somewhere else?! But no, fun is more important than the life of endangered species, so these kind of tours are still offered. Money can be made. Money, you understand? Omg it's money!

It's disgusting and I believe, that no one has the right to shoot a polar bear, even in self-defense. Please simply die, get eaten, instead of killing one of those endangered beings. There are enough humans here, we don't need you and neither does this planet.

No doubt because Softbank was facing investor pressure to make up for their losses.
Seems like it violates conservation of energy just because kinetic energy is proportional to the square of velocity, and thrust has to be constant for a given input energy since there's no preferred reference frame. Thus the faster you go, the more kinetic energy you get for the same input energy.
I agree with Nick Lane: the great filter is likely to be the Eukaryotic event.
It links to your phone to authenticate you. But from there, all messages are sent and received directly from the servers to all clients. So if your phone is off, but your desktop is on, the desktop client still receives them.

The catch is that if your desktop is off, it won't be able to "catch up" later on any messages that it missed. Although I don't see why that's impossible to implement in principle.

I'm pretty sure they can't, but I also think there's no way in hell they'd do it if they could. It's not in Apple's DNA. Better for them if no one else has access to the instruction set.

I bet they'd make a completely custom ISA if they could. Heck, maybe they plan to some day, and that's why they're calling the new Mac processors "Apple Silicon".

I didn't speak to developing for macOS specifically. The tldr is that it's not quite production-ready but it's easy to mix SwiftUI with UIKit so you can adopt it incrementally. I really like Apple's vision for SwiftUI and they're catching up with missing features very quickly.

Pentagon research program looks to replace human hackers with AI
I guess a Roman, asked circa 300 AD how he feels about the decline of the empire, would have replied similarly.

Java’s mindshare just isn’t where the exciting things in this field are happening. It’s more the domain of overengineered “big data” platforms and clunky enterprise software. Yes, SAP employs a ton of java developers I’m sure, but many devs would rather switch careers than work on anything resembling a crufty ERP.

Thus, the ecosystem stagnates, due to the dead see effect - everyone who could push it forward into new areas has no interest being anywhere near it. And stagnation is a long, drawn out death all the same. It still has a ton of momentum, and millions of outsourcing devs who only know Java, so it will be with us for a while - but make no mistake, the decline started quite a while ago.
This is a semi serious answer but...

If we were not in the middle of COVID I would say to take a trip to Atlanta. In the Atlanta startup community there is no shortage of MBA and marketing types with lots of ideas
that are just looking for a developer who is willing to work for next to nothing and equity that is much smaller than it should be.

Of course all of these business types will tell you about how they are the tech visionaries. They dominate most of the big startup events in that town that are supposed to be tech focused and will write countless marketing pieces telling you why their next co-working space makes Atlanta the "Silicon Valley of the East". In reality, a former tech reporter for the Atlanta Business Chronicle more accurately called Atlanta the Bangalore of the South since many larger tech groups will open offices here to try to reduce costs.

Don't get me wrong with Atlanta, it is a great place to live from a standpoint of having a lower cost of living compared with what you can get for a salary, especially if you are able to work for a west coast company that pays well. There are also other cities with a similar dynamic.

My point is that there are many ways to find it, but be careful because you may be trading one set of problems for another.
Wow, this is tectonic. I cannot wait to see how this redraws the competition map. There are dozens of major embedded semi vendors that license Arm IP. Nvidia could eradicate them trivially.
ARM will not be cheaper after this.

> Immediately accretive to NVIDIA’s non-GAAP gross margin and EPS

Can someone explain this? (From the bullet points of the article)

I looked up the definition of accretive: "characterized by gradual growth or increase."

So it seems like they expect this to increase their margins. Does that mean ARM had better margins than NVIDIA?

Edit: I don't know what non-GAAP and EPS stand for
It is minor because the Go team understands their responsibility not to make major changes. Which they learned in part from watching Python screw it up.

Conversely, Nvidia has done a solid job of advancing GPU performance even in the face of weak competition, and with their additional resources, ARM performance may advance even faster, and provide the first competition in decades to x86 in servers and desktops.
So stupid, really.

We really went through all possible pathways that could produce phosphine on a rocky planet. If this is not life, then our understanding of rocky planets is severely lacking.

> Animals in general, whether Humans or Orcas, don't grant members of other species special understanding or consideration and are usually very ruthless.

Since this is a thread about Orcas, Orcas are extremely friendly to humans and there are no reported human deaths from wild orcas. There's countless videos you can observe yourself of them playing with kayakers, boats, or even kids scratching the orca's tongue. Hardly would consider that "very ruthless."
I love the top comment on the video, "External combustion engine."
Everything south of United States had the same or if not worse level of exploitation as a European colony.

I sort of agree with parent poster, specially because most of these countries are independent for a bit longer and maybe because of that they tend to blame less the colonization (but blame still), but also because keep blaming the past (even when it is true) holds you to look forward.

This is awful. Out of all the big tech companies, Nvidia is probably least friendly to open source and cross-platform comparability. It seems to me that their goal is to monopolize AI hardware over the next 20 years, the same way Intel effectively monopolized cloud hardware over the last 20. Expect to see less choice in the chip market and more and more propietary software frameworks like CUDA. A sad day for CS and for AI.

This seems fair, as long as it stays true(regarding open licensing and neutrality). I've mentioned before, I think this will ultimately be a good thing. NVidia has the gpu chops to really amp up the reference implementation, which is a good thing for competition in the mobile, settop, and perhaps even desktop space.

An independent ARM that did not manufacture processors was the best outcome for everyone in the industry.

ARM being owned by an organisation deeply embedded in processor design and manufacturing, will now be licensing designs to competitors, as well as getting a lot of intel on its competitors.

ARM supercomputers were poised to take on Nvidia. Now its all one and the same.

As others have said, this will do wonders for RISC-V.
