Honestly laughed out loud reading GP compare the shittyness of San Francisco to how unbelievably awful and abandoned parts of Detroit are.
I suspect the next big tech wave is going to be software-enabled hardware (think 3D printing, or drones, or robotics) or software-enabled biotech (think Verily, Calico, or DeepMind's protein-folding breakthrough today). Neither of those can be done anywhere with an Internet connection; they're going to require close collaboration between software developers, data scientists, electrical/mechanical/biomedical engineers, and actual scientists (physicists, chemists, biologists, and material scientists). The Bay Area is excellently situated to take advantage of this, having 2 world-class universities, a number of smaller colleges, thriving industries in all of these, and lots of capital. Much of the rest of the country, not so much.

I suspect that the days of SaaS and pure web or mobile app developers are numbered. That field is increasingly getting commoditized.

The degree to which housing restrictions create costs that fall disproportionately on the young is also important: https://www.nber.org/papers/w21154

Using a spatial equilibrium model and data from 220 metropolitan areas we find that these constraints lowered aggregate US growth by more than 50% from 1964 to 2009.

Most of the "income inequality" discourse in the U.S. is really a gloss on what should be housing discourse.
It's similar to Bitcoin, in that you have to deposit it and use an exchange.

Bitcoin is peer-to-peer; you don't have to use an exchange to transact.

Lightning allows us to transact bitcoin instantaneously, person to person. There are plenty of Lightning wallets for iOS and Android.

Even the Developer Transition Kit / Universal App Quickstart Program has been handled poorly. Bunch of teething and hardware failure/DOA issues and arbitrary limitations with near zero engagement from Apple.

Nothing like the original Intel transition program, I'm willing to bet they're going to give credit instead of hardware for the exchange this time around too. It's an entirely different company now.

Apple doesn't NEED to subsidize or keep developers happy anymore. They've already won us and the marketshare. SE, vertical integration, leapfrog CPU and battery life.. They don't have any competitor, so why waste money investing in the ecosystem? We're going to build for them anyway.
I don't understand, how do these low level changes impact the OS exactly assuming that the ISA remains the same? It doesn't seem much more impactful than SSE/AVX and friends, i.e. code not specifically optimized for these features won't benefit but it'll still work and people can incrementally recompile/reoptimize for the new features.

After all that's pretty much how Intel has operated all the way since the 8086.

It's not like Itanium where everything had to be redone from scratch basically.

I think you missed the reference to reordering.

In the case referenced, there were 3 transactions on one day, 2 of $10 & 1 of $20. User has $20 in account. Do you take the true chronological order of transactions (10/10/20) & charge 1 fee, or do you go highest to lowest (20/10/10) & charge 2 fees?

A bank executive would likely argue why it's 'fair' to charge 2 fees because a business day is the relevant period for a bank (closing at end of day, etc.) & that method of accounting is mentioned on page 85 of the checking account TOS that a user signed.

Many consumers would argue that the bank's relevant period is meaningless, especially in the age of computers. They would also argue that it is unfair to lay out complex rules like this in an opaque way because of the asymmetrical information advantage that a bank has. They wouldn't complain that the rule was enforced per se, they would complain that the rule (which is plainly anti-consumer) exists.

Same is true of this cheating stuff - I think in general, students want a fair platform for grading. They just want that platform to be actually fair.

Profs who use these things are examples of teachers who just don't care enough to revamp their courses to involve more project, critical-thinking assignments, or exams where cheating won't help. They don't want to do the work to adjust the course for remote learning, and just give the course that they always teach, and do whatever it takes to get as close to the in-person exam that they used to have.

Sure, it just seems odd that the OS lets itself get into a situation where it can't recover - even in a corner case like this.

Like, can I just start 20k threads in WebAssembly and reboot anyone who visits my site?

This is a dynamic system with politicians changing economic policies for the better and worse over time. If the articles are written during "worse" times for businesses, then they might have been 100% right even though the predictions never come true.

It's like predicting that a ship is going to hit an iceberg if and only if the pilot doesn't/can't/won't change course in time.

Attacking these predictions with "haha weren't they stupid" is about as helpful as attacking various failed climate predictions which have been forestalled by environmental policy changes and technological advances, among other course corrections.

In reality it takes much longer than 30 years to topple empires as large as California (or the Bay Area) and it will often appear externally healthy right before the crash. Afterward we all know the drill where politicians will claim that "no one could have seen it coming", it was just an unlucky confluence of events and there was really nothing they could have done to prevent it.
I would think an i3-type WM would work better since there's less need to move windows around.
This is what Intel attempted with Itanium. The hardware implementation was too slow so they pulled it.

More recently is Nvidia's Denver project, which has a private ISA and dynamically translates ARM instructions. It's an open secret they had it working for x86 too, but it was scuttled due to patent threats.
so where are people moving and why?
Seriously, What a bunch of backward Luddites. They would do just as well to check IDs at vending machines and laundry mats. And I love these bank officials who say we should not use cryptocurrency because it is only used for fraud... that’s like saying we should not use money because some people rob banks or write bad checks!! I think someone is just making a lot of noise, but hopefully sanity will prevail.
Huge block size (128bytes). Probably they are using Power7 alike scheduling (i.e. scheduling are working on packs of instructions, That might explain the humorous 600+ entry ROB. Certainly the wake-up logic can't deal with that one-by-one with such a low power). If you combine that with JIT and/or good compilers, you get this. I guess only Apple can pull this trick: they control all the stack (and some key power architects are working there).
This is one of the worst sites I've used recently:

3) No way to actually buy the "product" if there is one

4) No descriptive information at all. I have no idea what this is.
> It's unlikely in the US that the federal government could require vaccination.

But the IRS could give you a tax credit for being vaccinated -- or is that crazy? :D

Indeed, it might even make sense to give a credit on social security taxes for vaccination, as it reduces the liabilities medicare is likely to incur in the future.

Personally, I doubt the US will do any such thing.. nor will it be necessary, at first we won't have enough vaccines anyways.
Large numbers of positive results are an entirely different kind of data than large numbers of the opposite (neutral + negative).

One shows the minimum scale of the problem - if it's big, that's a problem, even if it's no bigger than the value reported. E.g. if 10% tested positive, that'd be unambiguously worrying / news-worthy.

The other shows the maximum awareness of a problem. If it's big, you have no idea if awareness is low (many neutrals) or if incidence is low (many negatives). Everyone in SF could have COVID, and that 99.798% number could still be factually correct. Or it could be that only those .202% got it. There's no way to know from that number alone.
The question of what could be done about FPS cheating has been on my mind a bit lately. Yesterday while on a walk I had this thought that it's really because the shooting mechanic is in an awkward metaphorical compromise between the genuine mechanics of aiming and firing, and a symbolic representation of such.

If you actually had to play these games by holding a gun level with controlled muscle motions, it would be hard to cheat because even if you could insert a computer in there to automatically control your muscles, it's a fairly complex AI problem to make them move correctly.

In comparison a purely symbolic form would be like how most role-playing systems do it: you declare that you shoot at a target, and then perhaps there is some dice rolling done to determine if you do.

All an aimbot does is distill the vocabulary of mouse aim into the more symbolic form and automatically trigger certain symbolic responses. Someone who has played online FPS long enough develops a sense of when they are playing with these "symbolic adversaries" because even if they've dialed down the bot so they are merely "skilled", they start playing aggressively, with the assumption of fluent shooting to back them, while real players will hedge and look for a wider set of advantages, making more use of the game's vocabulary even if they can shoot through clutch scenarios. Cheater-vs-cheater matchups tend to suck the air out of the room as both sides flail about, eliminating the non-cheaters while never getting clear advantage over each other.

But then you look at a game like Rocket League, and it gets away with having more a discrete mechanism for moving and hitting, because not only is it all indirect through physics interactions, it's not clear what the right move is symbolically either. You can't win just by chasing the ball or by hitting the other players.

And there's a path for making shooting in FPS complex in that way, too - make all the targets large, trivial to aim at - and then ramp up factors that make it both indirect - slow projectiles, bounce - and symbolically complex, with various target prioritization and vulnerability mechanisms that deny simply spamming the headshot verb.
As far as I know, you still get some benefit even with it off; it means that MITM attacks are much less valuable.
Analyzing the Equals Three vs. Jukin Media Opinion
This has been my experience in college so far. My technical college I was at before had better policies for online learning and preventing heating by just making you work more so that cheating would just make it harder toward the end.

> But what about the Mac? The Mac is the PC from the company that more or less defined the Post-PC era. Would it not be the first to be sacrificed for the new future?

This to me is one of the really big but less talked-about implications of Apple Silicon. 12 months ago - before M1, before Big Sur, before the Mac Pro reboot, before the MBP 16 - the Mac had atrophied. Hardware quality had gone down, the software felt neglected (the UX update in Yosemite felt like a half-hearted skin). The Mac felt like a side-project. It felt unimportant to Apple; there was speculation that it might be turned into an iPad with a keyboard, or be dropped altogether with the all the new energy surrounding the iPad Pro. Apple seemed like it might just exit the workstation business completely.

In the past year that trend has been turned on its head. First they fixed the keyboard and refreshed the MBP form-factor and internals. Then they came out with the radically-powerful (and expandable!) machine that pros had been asking for for years. Then, most importantly, they came out with a huge financial commitment to the future of the Mac, making it a seriously compelling workstation again, and the cherry on top is a new UX that, for the first time since OS X (nearly 20 years ago!), looks like it was designed cohesively from the ground-up. No matter how you feel about Big Sur's design choices, it shows that Apple cares about the Mac again. And they're just getting started with the new silicon.

For an ecosystem that asks a lot in terms of commitment, it is hugely encouraging to see such an unambiguously renewed focus on this product line.
Snopes? It has been pretty good and neutral resource when they did urban legends. Once they got into big politics, they became very biased and then made a laughingstock of themselves "fact checking" labeled satire.
Starboard: Putting All the Kubernetes Security Pieces into One Place

Thank you for a better synopsis.

Bugs me so much when people don't look at the logical side of things. Tons of mac'n'knights going around downvoting and stating people are wrong that it has something to do with being a RISC processor.

While fundamentally pre 2000s things were more RISC this and CISC that the designs are more similar than ever on x86 and ARM. Just that the components are designed different to handle the different base instruction sets.

Also the article is entirely wrong about SoC Ryzen chips have been SoC since their initial inception. In fact SoC on the First APU. Those carried North Bridge components onto the CPU die.
Pretty bad reasoning with tons of gaping holes in your logic.
Thank you! The reason for experimenting with a sort of blow-by-blow report style here and detailing the full and true journey of the idea was that I feel the whole process from idea to artifact is not written about enough.

That said, it can often be hard to fully pinpoint the actual inception of an idea and just thinking about this one yesterday I realised that the idea likely came up while traversing a long chain of quote tweets. I really appreciate the feedback though—it's especially useful as I'm only starting to publish regularly now so have lots to learn—so thanks again.
Last year, I had the opportunity to watch Metropolis accompanied by a live orchestra. I have to say, it was quite the experience, somewhere between movie and concert, with the audience applauding after each act. It made me truly appreciate silent films as a lost form of art, I can't recommend it highly enough.

Having said that, yes, the film is not what we would today call "hard sci-fi". But a lot of the things that Wells criticizes as unrealistic are clearly intentional and meant to be symbolic, like the machines not serving any visible purpose. H. G. Wells obviously recognized this, which makes the review read a bit unfair and bitter. I wonder if there's a story behind this.
Most of the South Bay is 8-10 for schools - it has literally some of the best schools in the country. Even in East Palo Alto you're looking at a 7 for HS. To get consistent 3-5s on the Western side of the Bay, you're probably in SF.

2. Or thoughts on the more recent advances in literate programming like https://github.com/scicloj/notespace ?
Another discussion thread has noted that LPDDR4x can be 16x bits or 32x bits.

DDR4 is always 64-bits. Two channel DDR4 is 128-bits. So right there, 2-channel x 64bits DDR4 is the same bus-width as the 8-channel x 16bits LPDDR4x.

With that being said, 8-channel LPDDR4x is more than most I've heard of. But its not really that much more than DDR4 configurations.

128-bit (2-channel) DDR4 at 3200 MT/s is 51 GB/s bandwidth.

4266 MT/s x 128-bits (8-channel) LPDDR4x is 68GB/s. An advantage, but nothing insurmountable.

--------

A Threadripper can easily run 4-channel 3200 MT/s (100GB/s). Xeons are 6-channel. GPUs are 500GB/s to 800GB/s tier. Supercomputer-GPUs (A100) and Supercomputer-CPUs (A64Fx) are 1000+GB/s.

----

HBM2 has a MINIMUM speed of 250GB/s (single stack, 1024-bits), and often is run in x4 configurations for 1000GB/s. That's what "high bandwidth" means today. Not this ~68GB/s tier Apple is bragging about, but instead HBM is about breaking the PB/s barrier in bandwidth.

--------

But yes, I'll agree that Apple's 68GB/s configuration is an incremental (but not substantial) upgrade over the typical 40GB/s to 50GB/s DDR4 stuff being used today.
Why are we building exams that are only valid if people don't use google? Will google suddenly disappear when I get a job? Modern exams should require me to use google.

What we need is a way to have every exam question be unique to each student. If a student google the "how to" and then does it, great!

Well you don't have any of the AVX512 nonsense, but probably the OOO of the M1 uses more transistors than on an Intel chip. And Google tells me that a quad core i7-7700K has 2.16 B.
It's easier to get people to agree to a process than a result, so processes make it a lot easier for people to work together.

The processes are imperfect and often take on a life of their own, but still tend to be respected, and are generally improved when the outcomes start getting too far from the spirit of fairness.

Transparent processes which involve specific laws are much easier to respect than opaque "wise elder chooses" processes. Especially when there are many wise elders who might have different opinions.

AFAIK the tweet id has four moving parts, a datacenter id, a worker id, a sequence number, and a timestamp (original poster mentions three).

3-cycle is definitely doable, it may take a week posting 100 tweets per hour or something like that. The biggest problem is twitter blocking the account (even when you stay under the API rate limit).

Yes unfortunately Twitter's UI doesn't seem to handle recursive quote tweets, which was the main disappointment for me. I'm puzzled at those saying it does work as all I've ever gotten for the _quoted_ tweet was:

But perhaps they are just talking about the actual tweet.

Anyone at Twitter here that can give an indication of where this is on the roadmap?

> By 1775, however, sporadic rioting and violence in and around taverns transitioned into outright war when a group of ‘minute men’ gathered at the Buckman Tavern in Lexington, Massachusetts on 19 April 1775, just before murdering more than 70 British troops.

Murder of the British is a strange take on the events of Lexington and Concord. The author appears to be scraping.

Is the assertion that the taverns caused public life to take a different course than it would have otherwise, or just that they were the place where public life occurred?
