Simplifying a lot, both the CPU and the GPU have access to a few regions of shared memory, which both can read from and write to. Some of it is on the GPU (device local memory) and some of it is on the CPU (host local memory). The CPU writes a list of commands to one of these shared memory regions, then writes to a special register on the GPU (these GPU registers are visible to the CPU as yet another region of shared memory) telling it where that list of commands is.

That is, from a x86-64 assembly point of view, it's just writing to memory. Usually, only the final write to the special register is privileged, so that write will need an OS syscall into the graphics driver; the rest can be written directly by the userspace driver (which used beforehand another OS syscall to get access to some of that memory shared with the GPU). The userspace driver also compiles the SPIR-V programs into native GPU code, which can be loaded and executed as instructed by the list of commands.

What are these coding boot camps exactly? It seems like the material they cover is stuff someone who knows how to write code would already understand. Is it actually valuable?
Sine and cosine can be negative. Density functions cannot, and thus, orthogonality of the density functions implies that they don't have the same support with probability 1, or, said otherwise, the measure of the intersection of their support is 0.
I'm often faced with problems that would've been trivially easy to solve if I'd been dealing with them on 15-20 year old equipment and software. For example, the Google Assistant confirmation noise is ear-shatteringly loud and unpleasant. Facing a similar problem twenty years ago I could've just found the noise's audio file and deleted it, replaced it with something better, or even replaced it with a smaller-amplitude version of itself. In 2020 I can do absolutely nothing about this problem other than making my media volume so quiet I can't hear the things I actually want.

My phone is mounted in the center of my dashboard but faces me in the driver seat. The phone's compass senses this. Google Maps senses this as well, and on a good day shows my arrow sliding sideways down the highway. On a bad day it becomes convinced I am either driving down the highway in reverse or am actually in the opposite lane, and falls all over itself trying to recalculate my route. I often fantasize about the compass being a plug-in unit that I could rip out and smash into powder with a hammer.
What's wrong with the sales process? Do you have advertising experience or are you just guessing?

You're vastly underestimating how 10s of billions of dollars in advertising transactions are conducted. It's far more involved than just a "sales process".

I thought this competes with Istio, judging by the naming of it.
I attempted to do this with a module for an arduino that measured distance with ultrasound and controlled a stepper motor (didn't have a servo motor that would have worked better). As a PoC, it worked in that if focus was set to a background object and then someone stepped in the direct line of the ultrasound, the stepper would turn in the correct direction to bring in focus. It was crazy telling the arduino where infinity was on the lens and then where near field focus limit was, and then keeping track of how many steps were moved. it was also complicated in that a focus lens is not a linear scale to get to infinity.

all in all, it was a fun project to ultimately understand why CineTape[0] systems are so expensive.

Eleventy is really terrific.

I am able to build out my site either by leveraging a number of 'smart ways' to do it that all static site generators do ... templates, markdown to html... but I can also be lazy and custom write html/style per page, per directory, to get some art-directed type page out fast.

I feel like there was a tiny learning curve with the docs to get from 0 to 10 ... but from 10 to whatever is really great fun.

Pointwise multiplication of, say, two density functions gives the likelihood function of two independent random variables with these densities. This function is not a density function, as you say, but is still an important object, as it is used for inference based on the likelihood principle.
> We can decentralize the internet and serve Gemini over our new, decentralized space. We can work on more than just one of THE MOST IMPORTANT PROBLEMS™ at a time, you know.

People are creating "killer apps" because the web evolved to its current state. Theres a lot of bloat of course, preventing new browsers to emerge and this is a real issue.

But the serious effort would be to scrap most of this bloat and create a leaner web standard that would be easier to implement and yet offer advantages for people developing in it. Seriously i dont know WHY Tim Berners Lee think the solution is something like Solid, but not to create a leaner version of his own creation.

Which developer will be ok to trade what he/she have today for http0.9+markdown? None, because is too little. Maybe the Linux manuals will find they are more popular there..

The creators will not want to add the solutions to problems that will appear, but this will just make it a small niche.

Im trying hard to launch a solution to decentralization that at the same time looks good for the developer and the user, and its really hard, because the status quo is very sophisticated. Its David vs. Goliath and there's no way to get there except by facing Goliath.

If the guys behind this at least optimize it to be "a protocol for terminal/console browsers" i'm pretty sure that they would find a niche to live and start, but not as something that when looking over the shoulders of the current web presents no advantages to developers or users.

They say they are not competing with the web, and that's ok, but they should at least do it in a way were the thing they created manage to exist. Otherwise it just looks like noise.

Sorry if i take this too serious, but its because we are all facing real danger now, the world we are heading to doesnt look pretty if we keep in this direction.

And more noise right now, just takes peoples attention from where we are really needing anyone help, and i think its a disservice, at least right now. Because we get more divided, and we are already just David, it will be even harder by being half-of-David.

Its cool if people dont care, or are in another phase in life, but at least how about to play in another playground, why waste peoples time in a arena and a time we need all the effort we can get?
It's about ten years since I've worked with an ice-cream machine, but in my experience no matter the model they never forced you to try not to serve ice-cream.

They would enter their self-pasteurisation cycle, and the display at the front would tell you that is what it was doing, but it wouldn't prevent you from pulling the handle, if you so wished.

The problem, though, was that the barrel of the machine where the mixture was normally frozen was now at some 60 degrees C, it would be much much higher pressure than usual, and since the entire staff of a McDonald's tends to consist of teens who don't exactly take pride in the precision in which they carry out their jobs, at least once a night you'd have some poor kid blast a fine mist of hot sugary milk over themselves and the surroundings. Sometimes twice.

Sometimes I miss working at McDonald's.
Following that logic, it seems indoors would also be fine if they open up a bunch of windows?
How does this compare to Istio? On a high level it seems to claim exactly the same features:

- hybrid deployments for non-container support

The answer to #4 is probably that the goal isn't to always have ice cream. The goal is to run a profitable business.

Doubling the cost of the ice cream infrastructure to avoid a 25% downtime may not be a profitable venture -- especially if the downtime is scheduled to occur while the store is closed.
> Or they will have to make allowances for areas that have very low supply and/or supply that is very dispersed. For example, charging for some/all of the the time/distance from the driver's origination point to the pickup point. That will necessarily make ride sharing more expensive in those places, but that's because providing rides in those places is more expensive.

Yeah, definitely. I agree that to make it work they'll have to raise prices. My guess is that they'll have to raise prices by so much that riders decide to just drive themselves. If drivers must be paid minimum wage that might raise the cost of a ride by enough that in some locations there is no clearing price.

> Another option that might work in tandem is to allow drivers to log in as a sort of "if the offer is good enough I'll take it" sort of tier

AB5 is strict enough that this will not save Uber. You are an employee unless "The person performs work that is outside the usual course of the hiring entity’s business." Though, they did experiment with this model [1] and I wonder why they decided not to pursue it. If they had allowed drivers to set their own prices that might have been enough to prevent AB5 from being passed.

> 7 minutes is actually on the lowest end I've seen where I live, and that's in a metro area of ~250k people. Usually it seems to be around 15-20 minutes.

Yeah, absolutely :) Sorry, I should have been more specific! In major cities it's usually something like 2-3 minutes, I would not be surprised if it becomes 7 minutes once prop 22 fails. Wait times in places which are not major cities will increase by even more.

I've always known Gruber for only two things - suggesting the idea of Markdown and throwing hissy fits!

I really couldn't believe this!!
Yes. Discourse does this to great effect. It searches the whole “page” by default, when all the content for the “page” isn’t actually loaded in the browser.
Private methods on a public trait in Rust
If we were to ask Uber why they don’t provide a living wage or any meaningful benefits to their drivers, they would be the first to tell us that they believe they follow the law. Then they turn around and use aggressive tactics to bend the law to their will by strong-arming their drivers. This is absolutely reprehensible and individuals as well as Uber should be held criminally responsible.
This is where you’re wrong. This would set a precedent. Uber will definitely not renter CA or else it would send a message that other states can follow like California. CA was about 9% or Uber’s total rides before the pandemic, so it is significant, but they wouldn’t re-enter as it would risk the profitability profile of the whole company as the rest of the US adopts similar laws.

> when there’s a single ad shown and the floor is $1 or $2 or $3 even that makes no sense. Having no bidders with a floor and a single ad vs 2 or 3 is done for a single reason- revenue. Any customer benefit from missed ads is wiped out by wasted costs. It’s rent seeking because Google has a search monopoly.

I'm not sure I understand what your objection is. It sounds like you're saying that you'd like Google to remove price floors and show many more ads? Is that right?

What do you mean by "wasted costs"?

You can't defeat a structural problem with staffing agencies. If the drivers are the employee of anybody, they don't get to choose when they work, or how often, or where. Some of the drivers need that, so they lose work. The riders in the areas or times served by those drivers can no longer get rides, or have to pay more, and then more people drive drunk and lower income people pay more for transportation.

If the employer has to provide benefits, those costs have to be passed on to the riders, even if there are drivers who don't need those benefits, e.g. because they get them through a spouse or a second job. Then costs increase even more and there aren't as many riders, which means there aren't as many drivers and even more lose their jobs.

How is a staffing agency supposed to solve any of that?
I wasn't actually accusing them of doing something wrong, I was saying that as the logical conclusion of your claim. I'm fully confident that they are able to get money for those ad slots. How would an ad slot by youtube be worth 0?
I'm not suggesting that there's any threat, implicit or otherwise. But why should an employer (or contractor) be allowed to register the political sentiment of their employees/workers as part of the normal course of business?

Well, your idea actually produces an effect counter to what I would assume your preferences are:

Large employers, with a lot of market power would still be able to communicate to their employees via public channels. Small employers with very little (employment) market power would be basically muted.

Is this what you're looking for?
Braising and the like are a really nice thing to learn to make since you make a lot of delicious food in one go and once you get some technique down you can adapt it constantly. You’re limited only by the size of your pot.

Additionally the ingredients tend to be inexpensive compared to “nicer” cuts. Similar to BBQ.

Not to mention the end result doesn’t have to be stews, etc. I like to braise brisket in a liquid of peppers and stock and then use the resulting liquid for salsa’s and shred the meat for tacos.
Again, that's a great reason not to build HSR in Iowa or the Dakotas. But if you look where the population centers of America, this excuse begins to fall down. A huge percentage of America lives on the coasts in fairly dense pockets, far denser than many countries with existing HSR.
This varies a lot by area, but it isn't rare.
Regardless of the California law, applying it in that way would almost certainly run afoul of First Amendment constitutional protections.

They are now using this stuff to force you to waste 2Gib on about 6 desktop wallpapers. The only user-doable solution that won't get undone at the next update seems to be to buy a new SSD with more storage to make up for it, for 2-3X the retail price of non-proprietary SSDs.

For some reason they thought the stock wallpapers needed to change with the time of day and the way they implemented it takes hundreds of megs each. Then it is locked down by this system protect stuff so you can't get rid of them.
Most of those countries also provide ID for free and make it easily available. Election days are public holidays and lines at polling places are short.

There are widely known fresh ingredients containing fat, acidic liquid, or starch (e.g. avocados, tomatoes, sweet potatoes respectively, although tortilla would be a more conventional third example given the first two).
Thermal conductivity is one of the parameters that varies by more orders of magnitude than most properties in everyday materials.

Aerogels 0.024 W/m·K

Aluminum 240 W/m·K

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caprock says that sandstone is a common type of rock there, and has a thermal conductivity of 2.4 W/m·K

So I guess on a log scale it's half way between! So I guess imagine it's drawing heat from a source that is 100x smaller cross section and made of aluminum. Not that that is particularly helpful...
Well done, you destroyed that strawman. I totally agree with working from home to minimize employee exposure to infection diseases. Not for profit, but because not getting a potentially debilitating disease at work is a reasonable expectation.
