All these specialized co-processors make me a bit sad. I've already got a graphics card that can decode some video formats, but not new ones, and that will never change until it becomes e-waste. Now we get the same thing for image formats, ML, etc? And you're even more locked in to these co-processors since they use space that could have been used to have a dozen general purpose cores. So good luck ever watching a video that doesn't use a codec your hardware supports.
Enterprise SaaS is “just an app” + a ton of integrations + SSO authentication with a bunch of systems + SOC2 level compliance (or better.)

Combining all of these things into one offering is very difficult, and highly valued by both customers and the stock market.
> Why is it relevant? Really? It’s relevant because as soon as it’s clear the emperor has no clothes you wont be able to redeem it at any exchanges because it’s garbage.

Because if you're worried that they don't have enough real us dollars to back the USDTs that they've printed, being able to directly redeem USDT for USD isn't really going to make a difference.

>All crypto exchanges are rigged casinos. The only way to win is not to play.

That seems like an overly broad statement to make, especially there are a few exchanges that try to be as by-the-books as possible.

>Tether absolutely swings up and down depending on how many people are fleeing into or out of cryptos at any given moment. We’ve seen like +5-7% and -20%. That’s enough to blow away any leveraged position.

Or just don't leverage to the max? Short-selling $1000 worth of USDT with $1000 of USD in reserve and 3x leverage should allow you to withstand most shocks without being forced to liquidate.

>Seriously, who lets you short Tether except for Bitfinex

Kraken, for one.

>and what will they pay you out in, more Tether? They don’t have a bank account. That’s why they invented Tether.

Again, this goes back to my first comment. Are you claiming that bitfinex isn't processing fiat withdraws (eg. wire/ACH transfer to a real bank)?
>The article also seems to entirely omit the M1's heterogenous core strategy, where 4 of the cores are high performance and the other 4 are optimized for power efficiency. A deeper analysis of this and how software manages them would be more interesting.

When the CPU utilization ramps up on M1 MacBooks, the user interface always remains buttery smooth. I haven't been able to make the M1 Air drop a frame yet no matter how hard I push it. Meanwhile doing anything remotely CPU intensive on an Intel MacBook will turn the user interface into a janky stuttery mess.

I suspect the heterogeneous cores are the "secret" behind this. Performance tasks are delegated to the performance cores, leaving the efficiency cores free to instantly respond to any UI-bound tasks.

How likely is that scenario? Chat is far less organized compared to email or forums and it's difficult to find the result you're looking for unless you've seen it and have a vague memory of what it was and when it was posted.

When I try to use Slack's search feature, I typically get a bunch of irrelevant results. In fact, I've had better luck scrolling back and finding the message I'm looking for.
Seems like backward compatibility completely rules this out. Apple can provide tools and clear migration paths because the chips are only used in their systems. Intel chips are used everywhere, and Intel has no visibility.
This is 100% true and cheating concerns evaporate (or are confirmed) when one analyzes a game with an engine. Its enlightening to take that game where you're "sure" the other person had computer assistance into an engine and see all the blunders you both had made.

Do you think that countries that took proper measures and got COVID down are essentially now the role models for the other half of the world to scorn mask wearing and say “See, everyone is fine, it’s a hoax.”?

I think another issue is that methods for sharing and debating scientific research needs to catch up to the age of computing. Publishing research in scientific journals has some serious flaws and it would be interesting to incubate some new and improved methods for sharing scientific info and peer review. Not only new means for publishing research and peer review but also a lot of global standardization of medical indications etc. since until recently it’s been a bit of a Wild West.

Actually that's not the first time people address the low contrast issue in my color scheme, might as well change the default theme to a light one until I find a proper alternative.

As for the technical criticism, I wanted the blog to be a bit simple for the non tech savvy audience, there is a certain sweet spot between a technical blog and an ELI5 type of explanation which I haven't necessarily succeeded at achieving yet.

I really enjoyed writing that blog and might go deeper on the subject and possible cover more valuable aspects of the topic rather than a simple bird's eye view.

* Find out what a tweet is shortly after
* Estimate the rate of new tweets appearing
* Publish a tweet with a reference to a tweet with a now+guess id

Which platform has removed questioning of lockdown measures? I see these debates happening daily here, on Twitter, on Facebook, on reddit, and in the mainstream media.
It means it hasn't been, and thus needs more study in that regard.

My inexpert understanding is that mRNA vaccines such as this one are unlikely to have an impact on many autoimmune cases. In many, perhaps most, others, it appears from my reading to be likely that the generated interferons are not adding anything to the likelihood of developing an autoimmune condition that wouldn't eventually already happen. (It might be the nudge over the cliff, but so might have the next common cold you catch.) But it should be tested to understand, regardless.
Re-use of a battery is fine, but it's a stop-gap. The battery will eventually reach a state of health where it isn't useful in any application anymore, so recycling is still necessary. The "re-use" step just delays that a bit.

It'll take a while before those results can be trusted, though, right? There's probably a selection bias in the training data for proteins which are easy to crystallize, so many proteins probably aren't well represented by the training examples.
> The term “triage” is frequently thrown around when dealing with email, but did you know it actually originated as a medical term during the Napoleonic wars?

The author is making it sound like it’s an outdated term. It’s still in wide use today for medical emergencies, and I’d wager more people are familiar with the word in that context than as a way to sort email.
I did believe those benchmarks. I also knew that sustainable load at those speeds if not throttled down would just melt the thing so yes they were irrelevant.
You're acting like we're all enjoying this. If everyone wore masks then we wouldn't be where we are. The reason we need the shutdowns is because people don't listen to other guidance so shutdowns are the only option left to slow the spread.

If everyone wore masks (and wore them properly) then yes, we could go about our lives as if nothing happened, but anybody with a pair of eyes can tell you that's not the case.

Also, many of the people that are against shutdowns (that don't have an ulterior motive) are against them because people are out of work and creates issues with poverty. They are not against it because it doesn't help. So rather than saying no shutdowns, how about we take the proper steps and have a moratorium on rent and mortgages so solve the root of the issue.
I don’t think there was anything defective with the Armco barrier. It just turned out to be the wrong thing for that part of the track.

It seems to me that the concrete barrier they erected after cutting out the broken section wouldn’t be a great thing to drive into at 140mph, either. I’m curious to see if they have tires in place there next weekend.

Incidentally, I’m pretty sure areas where the Armco rail can’t be replaced with something safer and more modern due to space constraints are the reason some classic tracks are not rated by the FIA as safe for F1. I think that’s part of the problem with Watkins Glen.

That doesn't make much sense to me - if the issue from an ISPs perspective is data volume, then why not just put a cap on data and remain content-agnostic? Doesn't that address the issue in a much more direct way? For example, if there is no data cap, but only a block on netflix.com, it seems that you could get around that using a VPN or something anyway.

AMD CPUs are very hard to fully utilize with a single thread, and Intel has always held the single-thread perf crown. Most high-performance use cases are multi-threaded now, so the single-threaded performance delta isn't that significant. The Apple chip is really built for running a snappy GUI: in most of those cases, you need to run ~1M instructions super fast on one thread for a short time. Intel has historically had the crown on this metric, but not any more with all of their problems.

> even if it comes at the cost of performance

Why? What's the purpose of artificially limiting performance when one doesn't need the upgradability?

I've, personally, never upgraded the RAM on any system I've built or carried it to a new motherboard with a new socket. I'm absolutely the target audience for this. I would love this increased performance, as long as it wasn't some surprise. Having the extra plastic on the motherboard is literally e-waste for me. Don't touch my PCI-e slots though.
> we are charging down that path optimizing for lives saved without giving fair consideration to other side effects

This reminds me of the French economist Frederic Bastiat's essay "That which is seen, and that which is not seen". The media (tv, newspapers and internet) were all hyper-focused on the number of deaths (initially) and later number of cases but always failed to take into account secondary consequences like those you mention.

> Another cheater move would be to use a computer analyses only when things get sticky. Just for the occasional move. This is a cheating tactic in tennis, too. An unksilled cheater "hooks" constantly when it doesn't matter. A skilled cheater does it only on a critical point. You can call out a line judge, but with the advantage secured, the cheater can appear scrupulous for the remainder of the match

OT, but as someone who knows basically nothing about tennis, how does cheating work? Are there illegal ways to hit the ball or something?

I think the mask wearing and social distancing will likely continue for quite a while even after the mass vaccination starts. Logistically, it's going to be a huge undertaking and not something that will be completed in a matter of days, or even weeks. So I think the risks of not having the vaccine straight away, but subsequently catching or transmitting the virus are going to be roughly what they are at present, if not a bit less... unless, of course, people start throwing caution to the wind, in the premature belief the crisis is over. Which I can well see happening.
It appears nextdns blocked the video that everyone are talking about.

The intro about Bruno Baguette was where I closed the page.

I'm being bombarded with "diversity" and "we are so totally ok with like everything" that I developed what I call "CTRL + W Reflex". Too much white noise, too much "we are so tolly ok". I didn't even get the chance to see what everything was about and the image of elephant is forever stained. I'm a PHP dev, I'm supposed to love everything PHP but for some reason (and I don't even want to analyze why) - I hate this site.

I guess life would be largely the same except for the millions of dead people?

In general though, there has been a huge variety of policy responses across the globe and over time, so I'm not sure what you mean be 'we' 'shutting everything down'. My state came closest to shutting everything down for a month or so in the spring, but there has been a constant effort since then to adjust policy to balance health risks and economic/social pain. Italy had a super hard lockdown. South Dakota isn't even wearing masks.
Benfield's study has been peer-reviewed and published in Annals of Internal Medicine.
This is describing issues and tradeoffs of OOP relative to FP and haskell. It conveniently side steps the fundamental issue with OOP as used in Java or C++ or C#. I agree with most of what the author says except that his OOP version is basically incredibly hard to read and not intuitive. However that's just my opinion.

The real big problem with OOP in context of the popular definition is the promotion of using logical operations that are not combinators. This makes OOP less modular.

class X:

int b
int c
int d
int x[100000] = {1,2,3,4,5,6,.......}

function addOne(){
return b + c + 1
}

The tradeoff with OOP is convenience. You have b and all the context of X implicitly accessible within the function but addOne cannot ever be used outside the context of X.

To reuse addOne means to recreate the entire context of X. I want a banana but in order to get the banana I must recreate the gorilla holding the banana and the entire jungle the banana is sitting in.

That's what most people complain about even when they don't realize it. In terms of the authors definition of OOP I don't think there's much controversy for that stuff.
Could you explain what you mean with "8-wide decode in many places" ? How is that possible, isn't instruction coding kinda always the same? I.e. always 4-wide or always 8-wide, but not sometimes this and sometimes that.

All sources I could find say it is 4-wide, so I'd also be interested if you could perhaps give a link to a source?
Annndddd, there it is.

I'm am very appreciative to Apple for finally closing the endless "The ISA doesn't matter" nonsense. The ISA does matter and it's part of what enabled Apple to go so wide.

However, there the article is slightly misleading. The ROB isn't where instructions are issued from, that would be the schedulers which usually holds a much smaller set of instruction (16 per scheduler is common). The ROB holds everything that was decoded and not yet retired, thus including instruction that haven't yet been issued to schedulers and more importantly, instruction that have been executed for not retired (eg. might be waiting on older instruction to retire first).

If you hit an explicit limit, I'd expect the thread spawn to fail, and most processes to panic if thread spawning failed, sure.

But if you run below the explicit limit, but above the implicit limit of whatever continues to work, it's not surprising to me that the OS just freaked out.

You could report it to Apple, but their reporting process is pretty opaque, especially if you're not a registered developer (because why would you be, if you're just using mac os because you like the desktop environment, or whatever). Who knows if they'll fix it, but it's not worth making a big deal over, because you weren't really wanting to run 2k threads on mac os anyway, because it would suck, even if it did work.

From the other message on the thread; it looks like too many threads is causing a watchdog timer to fail, leading to the panic.
I also saw the race live and like you I was truly horrified. At first the commentators said “It’s a Haas!” and for some reason I assumed it was MAG for a moment. My first thought was: “He’s dead.”

I never realized that there is a medical car trailing the field on the first lap of every race. Just moments after the crash the med car driver and doctor hopped out and began extinguishing the flames and were able to help Grosjean get over the rail that he had split open.

I’m amazed that he was able to get out and walk away from that. When you watch the footage it seems like he is in the flaming inferno forever!

There are couple of criticisms that has been floating around that I don’t entirely disagree with: If the guard rail hadn’t failed the car probably wouldn’t have split in half and caught fire like that. Though to be fair, who’s to say what could have happened with an almost frontal impact at that speed, regardless of what he had crashed into.

The other one is more of an observation than an actual criticism: If he had been knocked unconscious he wouldn’t have had a chance. Though there were multiple people with fire extinguishers there’s no way they could have put the fire out fast enough to drag him out of the car. Which again feeds into the whole ‘the guard rail shouldn’t have failed, and if it hadn’t the car wouldn’t have caught fire’ deal.

All that said though, the level of safety built into these cars is absolutely amazing: The halo, the survival cell and things like that were put to the ultimate test and really saved the day alongside the brave first responders.
