Larrabee kind of lived on in the Xeon Phi line, although the Xeon Phis were purely targeted at compute with no graphics capability like Larrabee was.

Intel Xe is closer to taking the existing integrated GPUs and sticking them on a discrete card instead of the same socket as the main CPU.

AWS has sqs & kinesis which are much better queueing options in that scenario where you’re in AWS doing new dev and can pick a technology. This is more likely to do with opening doors for large and complex applications that can’t be rewritten to come into the AWS cloud. Unsexy stuff but there’s some fun engineering to be done in that realm, if you find like puzzles and shitshows to be fun anyways :-)

> I'm sorry, but how is this writing not blatantly sexist?

It is! It just happens to be sexist towards acceptable targets. Since men are perceived as dominant and powerful, the sexism is regarded as a non-issue.
I really wish there were also laws about not doing it in public spaces. I don't care if people do it in their own spaces, but when the smell wafts out onto the sidewalk, it makes me nauseous.
The results are foreign companies moving out of China. Bringing much more world attention to the aggression of China in the South China sea, and uniting foreign powers (India, Japan, Philipines, Vietnam, Australia, etc) to contain the CCP's aggressive expansion. It's been made more clear how the Belt and Road initiative can create debt trap for less developed countries and as a sort of CCP imperialism.

Under all these external pressures, the economy of China has suffered. And this is more crucial than most realize, as CCP would remain in power, and the majority of its citizens tolerate the oppression and ignore minority's human rights abuse, as long as the economy is growing. Also as a result, CCP is experiencing more internal factional struggles. This is apparent in Xi's deployment of cultural revolution style tactics such as purges (under the name of anti-corruption, as vast majority of CCP officials are corrupt), requiring study of Xi thoughts (think Mao's little red book), and demand for absolute loyalty from the military to himself (generals have spoken out against him).
I'm not talking about using SSN or other identifiers to validate voter identity, that would already be done at the polls or however we currently validate mail in ballots (should be something better than forensic signature comparison, though).

The identifiers would simply be used so that the individual could check and validate that their vote was counted and counted correctly. But perhaps those identifiers wouldn't be necessary since you could simply assign a random uuid after the person votes that they can then use to look up.
>Zoning is inherently authoritarian and an affront to individual liberty.

> Parking tickets depends on whether they write citations for things that aren't harming anyone, like people parking unregistered stuff on the street where there's ample parking available. If you're enforcing minor laws just because they're there and forcing people to step in line when them doing whatever doesn't appear to be bothering anyone then that passes my duck test for authoritarianism.

You've effectively painted all cities as authoritarian. If that's your position, fine, feel free to include Portland. But I still don't see any specific examples beyond has zoning, has police who might enforce its laws, etc. I think that becomes a very broad brush with which to paint anywhere that isn't rural as authoritarian, and I don't agree with you.

> Frankly from the rest of your comments in here you're coming across like a masshole who thinks Portland is perfect

Wrong on both counts. Portland has its issues, but I don't think heavy-handed enforcement of its many laws is one of them. Diversifying its economy away from tourism, and expanding its base away from 3-4 large, very legacy employers, would be two big ones in my mind.

> They're from elsewhere and are of a different culture. Sounds like a reasonable definition of "outsider" to me.

Authoritarians love in-groups and out-groups. Just a hop, skip, and jump to nationalism and fascism. Not everyone that moves into a place is going to want to change it to their ideal, but they're going to have their own perspectives, and I see no reason not to respect them.

"Feeling depressed" is not what we call clinical depression. Clinical depression means you just cannot function on your own anymore. Seeing it happening to someone you knew for years is eye opening.
I think it would make a fascinating poli sci case study about why almost all cannabis legalization came from popular referendum instead of legislation.

What is it about cannabis that makes it so much more amenable to direct democracy compared to representative democracy. Polls show that overwhelming majorities in most states support legalization. Yet elected representative have been extremely reticent to move policy in that direction. Two thirds of Americans support legalization, yet neither of the major party candidates for president do.

This talk is about not teaching C when trying to each C++.

It might be a good idea not to teach C initially, or not much.

But you can't even write a hosted C++ program without touching the C-like subset: the main function and its argument handling reek of C.

C++ contains and is built-around a C dialect. Those who don't know the dialect do not know C++; they cannot understand and maintain C++ programs which use it.
Yes, but only if you are relying on a distributed system. You can still have a centrally controlled blockchain. And the blockchain would simply allow anyone to easily verify data integrity.

When I opened my wallet for the first time in a few years, I found the only way to get the coins out of the old version of multibit was to send it to all to a new wallet with new keys running new software.

Aedis aegypti go from egg to adult in about a week and lay their eggs in any standing pool of water you can find. Maybe 100 total eggs per female over several broods before they die so it’s not that hard to cultivate millions a day.

Are you somehow going to outlaw outsourcing? Because I think it is likely that everyone is going to just outsource the coding (at least in many cases) rather than wait for all those classic lit majors to get trained up.
There were alt-weeklies everywhere before the early 90s, largely surviving by being where you would find out all the bands that were playing that week, all of the plays if your city had theater, new restaurants and clubs opening up, and the drink specials at the places you knew and loved. At some point one figured out that they could make their personal ads into "1-900" numbers, and rolled every free paper up all over the country within a few years, first making them bland, then shutting most of them down after people stopped reading them. A very few survived when their parent decided to spend a minimal amount of money on them (as the bottom fell out of the "900" number biz.)

I guess you take independent writing anywhere you can get it these days, but I'm not sure much has been lost. There will still be a market for those papers after covid, because they're basically entertainment programs, like maps to amusement parks. Maybe if what is now Village Voice Media are out of the business, they'll have a chance to flourish again.
But then if that’s the case, should it point to sf symbols where appropriate on the Mac? This set looks basically like sf symbols already.
It's illegal to use in public as others have said, but enforcing this rule isn't exactly a high priority for police. I think it's really a situation where somebody has to ask the smokers to stop, like many other obnoxious but not felonious behaviors.
Same in BC, but that's very inconsistently enforced
I think if you just decriminalize it instead of completely legalizing it then usually what happens is people will successfully hide it so they don't give away their dealer, and the cops get to go after a potential larger offender as well instead of having to convince the locals the small time users aren't criminals. Based on my experience in Canada. Of course, then the dealer will try to upsell their users to harder drugs so there's trade-offs there.

Ultimately it's the same as drinking though, just be considerate and hide it from the kids!
>if it's just a placebo, that sounds like a great placebo to be giving!

Even for antidepressants, the placebo effect makes up 67.6% of the effectiveness [1], so the placebo is always much more effective than antidepressants.

Surveys of sexual activity, marriage, and child birth all wildly disagree with your supposition.
Does this mean states could enact universal healthcare from referendum, or are they barred from incurring tax raising consequences?
Smoke is bad for you period. The chemicals and nicotine content is irrelevant.
Completely anecdotal:
They apparently did this in my area a few years back and they are still spraying in my neighborhood as of last week after detecting mosquitoes carrying diseases.
And it could be all in my head, but I swear there are 10x more mosquitoes than ever before.
Well sure, that too. Although cigarettes seem to be not as popular as weed around where I live.

DDDplus, lightweight flexible framework for complex business architecture
I agree with you that it is very obnoxious and super rude to be doing in an area close to other non-consenting people. I also think that a law about where you could smoke would inevitably be abused and not serve anyone: for example, is it really a police matter that you can smell your neighbors smoking weed, or that someone is doing it to near you in a park. I think we need to get away from this tattle tail mentality and work on being clearer with people when their behavior is interfering with our enjoyment of our surroundings. Being polite about smoking pot needs to become a social norm, not a law.

And just as a concrete example, I would rather see tax money go to an ad campaign that says "a lot of people find the smell of pot disgusting, smoke it away from others" than into law enforcement.
It's realy weird to see healthy direct-democratic decisions on a state level right along a national election where voters are compelled to choose the "less bad" of two candidates unfit for office.

> It's true I may not be, but I'm not sure what the material difference is between real-time facial recognition and performing the same analysis on security camera footage after the fact.

I hope that the latter would require a warrant and have some scope limitations. The former expands constant surveillance to constant surveillance + identification.

> I should clarify, I'm not arguing in favor of real time facial recognition, I'm just skeptical of this move's efficacy in preventing the same outcome.

You don't appear to be, don't worry. And these days there's nothing wrong with being skeptical. After all, it did turn out that the government was spying on its citizens. This wouldn't stop that, but it does blunt it a bit. Dunno, maybe I'm an optimist.

I see what you going for.. but... I just don't think it's fine to use casual overt sexism in this way.
The trick seems to be how to implement this kind of idea in a composable way, so we can still have a clear, modular design and write generic, reusable code even in the presence of several different types of effect. IMHO, the research into type and effect systems in recent years has been promising, but also shows that this is not an easy problem to solve. I’m hoping that in a few more years we might see a new generation of programming languages that incorporate this kind of “effect safety” as easily and naturally as many developers use const and qualifiers and resource management idioms today.
I think being pro legalization doesn't win many votes, but being anti legalization could cost votes. It's an easy attack ad to make. One of the worst things about politics seems to be that the substance of the attack doesn't really matter, just the fact that it exists.

With popular votes on the topic, everyone wins: people get what they want, and no legislator needs to grow the courage to stand up for it.

As a completely unscientific anecdote, I have two friends who both happen to be microdosing right now, and the improvements to their general dispositions and engagement with daily activities are profound. It's not at all clear that the effects will be lasting however, and my friends tend to be outliers in any case.

For simplicity written with a type synonym, but it cannot be partially applied. So I would use constraint synonym encoding (https://gist.github.com/Icelandjack/5afdaa32f41adf3204ef9025...)

type FunctorOf :: forall (s :: Type) (t :: Type). Cat s -> Cat t -> Constraint

class (Functor f, Src f ~ src, Tgt f ~ tgt) => FunctorOf src tgt f
instance (Functor f, Src f ~ src, Tgt f ~ tgt) => FunctorOf src tgt f

The other definitions can be eta reduced

type EndofunctorOf cat = FunctorOf cat cat
type OldFunctor = EndofunctorOf (->)

It's counter to "tough on crime" messaging, and for both parties, a lot of your reliable voters love "tough on crime" candidates.

Campaign contributions from groups interested in the status quo (law enforcement unions, private prison groups, pharmaceutical/tobacco/alcohol companies) also have an interest in funding the "No" campaign.
They absolutely can enact universal healthcare, and some have tried in the past. Vermont famously(?) did this with Green Mountain Care - the problem is that when it comes to healthcare you end up needing to pay the same outrageous market prices for healthcare that insurance drives but without any of the wink and nod discounts that HCPs and Payers exchange to keep things moving - along with a lot of market players working actively to extort as much money as possible from your system.

Universal healthcare is difficult due to the inability to actually nationalize health care providers without having your state's system overburdened by everyone from neighboring states which you're quite limited in restricting due to federal interstate commerce requirements. Also the federal government would probably come down hard on you.
Because representatives don't represent the people that want to legalize it. Or the Governor's don't.
> What I think is superb is that the law requires data to go _directly to consumers_ as in, car makers would be required to change immediate locations of outbound telemetry such that they can't get it.

What an amazing idea. There is no problem with telemetry if the user owns and controls the data it produces. They should make this law cover more classes of products and software.
Personally I would very much be in favor of banning public smoking, especially if such a law extended to tobacco as well.
It feels akin to a rogue immune response that threatens the patient.
Some have at least moved incrementally in that direction by referendum. Maine, Missouri, and Oklahoma voters opted in by ballot initiative to ACA's Medicaid expansion, after their respective state governments had decided not to expand Medicaid. That's admittedly easier than designing an entirely state-level system.
Are you saying the intent of the commission has an obvious relationship to the consequences?
If you are at the bottom of the dating hierarchy (for whatever reason) as a male in the USA, you are typically limited to overweight women. The gulf between real and fake sex thus becomes much larger, and fake sex more appealing, than in a society without obesity.
Although no kids were involved in my case, "mere" alimony can be crushing. I spent a several years living on $625/mo (the residue after alimony and payroll taxes). And no, I wasn't particularly well off to begin with, left with maybe $500K net worth after the split.

So, beware. On the other hand, being poor-ish makes you realize that possession don't matter so much after all. And drinking will pave over a lot of unhappiness.

As for sex toys and porn, there's a lot to be said for them. We might actually be far happier if we reserved man/woman sex just for reproduction. And even then, maybe artificial insemination would be the way to go.

One of the best things about the Internet is that one can read literally thousands of tales of relationship woe if one cares to. If that had been available way back when, it would have saved me a lot of grief.
Oh, the war on drugs was way too useful for politicians to give it up themselves. A classic case of "Just give me more powers so I can protect you and your loved ones from this horrible danger you can’t possibly protect yourself against".

It had to come from the people. Hollywood helped too, making weed smoking seem familiar, funny and harmless way before it was legal.

If you smoke as much weed as a chain smoker does cigarettes you're going to be really high.

Generally speaking "weed usage" introduces far fewer carcinogens compared to "cigarette usage" - but lots of things are bad for you including alcohol and, especially, sugar.
