To get the die off the flip chip carrier I use heat and scraping. Then I use a razor blade to scrape off most of the metal layers (which obscure the functional blocks), then a cheap Chinese inspection microscope ($100) attached to a DSLR with a 3D printed adapter (a DSLR with a lens attached backwards also works in a pinch). Then take a bunch of individual photos and stitch them with Hugin.

Edit: sorry, the link was previously the (lower res!) Chipworks shot I'd annotated previously. I got confused. Replaced with mine. It's less clean but higher resolution than what they released.

At the highest zoom I could get I could just about make out individual bits in the eFuse array. This is a Wii U GPU (Latte).

No chemicals needed. I'm probably one of very few people crazy enough to do this mechanically, but it clearly works!

Here's a single shot done with a reversed cheap kit Canon lens of a PS3 GPU (RSX), again with the scraping method.

I do happen to have access to a SEM too, and obviously that gets a lot more fun. Here's the same eFuse area (again this is still the mechanically deprocessed chip!):

I think the mechanical delayering usually gets me to M1 or so, though it's not completely consistent depending on the specific process. Some chips work better than others.

> They optimized for battery life by sacrificing some performance. That's basically what they did.

> The rest is BS and media circus.

Eh, I don't object to Apple slowing down the phone in the name of stability when the battery is worn.

It's more that they did it without telling the user it was happening or documenting that it could happen.

And given that it was by the same company that pioneered the glued-in battery, and is famously unhelpful to third-party repair shops, it's reasonable to see that as part of a pattern.

> For one, the drop in battery (and thus perf tradeoff) happens after 3 or more years of use, not after the first year.

People's experiences vary a lot depending on their phone use. I have a computer at home, a computer at work, and a commute where I can't use a phone. Use 20% charge per day and slow-charge every night? Battery will last for years!

On the other hand, someone who spends two hours a day streaming netflix while they commute then use their phone a bit a home as well? The sort of person who charges twice a day? They're going to see the symptoms of battery wear a lot earlier.
I support this sentiment (even though I hate Putin). Anytime cyber attack, breach or violation happens inside American companies, some how Russian hackers are involved. Is this really true? How come election is manipulated by Russian when Trump elected, but not when Biden elected? Why Twitter is not considered as an enemy of American people when they are censoring content as they wish?
> Barely getting by in America means being rich for much of the world including many European countries.

Barely getting by in America means incredible poverty, homelessness, an inability to get medical care, and visits to food banks. I'm curious to understand what you are basing your claims/arguments on - would you be willing to share any sources that have shaped your perspective on these issues? My own arguments are based on socialist organizers who are on the ground and organizing in the US, as well as the paper this thread is discussing.

> How is it that the economics works out so differently in, say, Eastern Europe where poor people's best choice is to buy staples in bulk and cook and can't afford packaged convenience food and eating out?

> It's because American people's time is priced much higher and they earn much more overall.

I'm curious, have you been able to read the BMJ paper/article? This is absolutely not meant in a derogatory way. I am genuinely curious to understand where you are coming from or what your statement is based on.

From my understanding the paper argues that people's perceptions of which foods are nutritional has been distorted and negatively manipulated by corporations. In other words, people have come to believe low-nutritional food (or even non-nutritional food) is somehow nutritional, when in fact it actively contributes to ill-health and chronic disease/conditions.

From the first paragraph of this paper:

"In 2015 the New York Times revealed that Coca Cola was covertly funding the Global Energy Balance Network based at the University of Colorado, a research network set up to promote the message that all calories are equal.1 The network’s aim was to show that sugar sweetened beverages are no more responsible for the rise in obesity levels than any other foods or a lack of physical activity.2 In doing so, Coca Cola was copying and adapting the corporate political activities and scientific strategies that have been pioneered and perfected by tobacco, alcohol, and drug companies to defend and promote their products.34

Corporate food and beverage companies such as Coca Cola have engaged in what I will refer to as “corporate scientific activities.” These activities are designed to produce and influence the scientific knowledge used to evaluate, promote, legitimise, and regulate their products. Such activities include funding and conducting in-house nutrition research related to their products; sponsoring scientific seminars and expert meetings; involvement in scientific standards and policy committees; publishing in scholarly journals; funding scientific front groups; and delivering nutrition education programmes.2" [1]

Or a pipe. Or the unprintable “field separator” character.

> I don't know where there's never been some effort to create a "CSV format specification"; for example the first line could indicate quoting, delimiter, etc. style used in the file.

Fundamentally CSV or any delimited format requires agreement between parties for interchange. At that point standards don’t really help because the parties can just agree to anything that works.

> Guess it's never been big enough of a problem for people to take action. "Good enough" (or rather, "not bad enough").

Exactly.
Couldn't most textures have a lot of procedurally generated elements? That way you wouldn't need to store all the information.

Artists would just need to specify the procedural part, ie their editors would need to have that as well.

I think currently, the way artists work, they anyway have a lot of layers, and some of them are procedurally generated. I know people at least used to use something like "clouds" procedurally generated in Photoshop, and use that to apply some effects to the texture like wearing or staining. But in the end they "burn" the texture to bitmaps, and a lot less layers. Maybe that could be instead done on the GPU. Then the base texture becomes mostly flat, easily compressable, and the clouds can be procedurally generated, requiring no storage at all. It can still be deterministic, you can just store the seed.

The article "The opioid effects of gluten exorphins: asymptomatic celiac disease" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5025969/

Gluten can be degraded into several morphine-like substances, named gluten exorphins. These compounds have proven opioid effects and could mask the deleterious effects of gluten protein on gastrointestinal lining and function. Here we describe a putative mechanism, explaining how gluten could “mask” its own toxicity by exorphins that are produced through gluten protein digestion.

No wonder it is addictive when you can get a morphine like effect when eating it.
Most fast food contains wheat and vegetable oils (and not the ones that are good for you like Olive Oil). Nobody can stay slim with these food as they usually contain close zero in nutrition value except for energy.
You can measure conversions without relying on personally identifiable information. Adding e.g. a non-personal tag to your URL will enable you to track the source of a conversion. If this happens in a browser you can even store that (non-personal) information in the localStorage or a cookie, so even if the user doesn't convert immediately and only comes back after e.g. a week you will be able to tie the conversion to the specific ad. Where in that process do you need personally identifiable information?

Also, Facebook doesn't only use these identifiers for conversion tracking, it uses them to create a persistent profile of a person that often ends up containing a ton of sensitive information. Believe it or not, a lot can be inferred about you from your app downloads and website visits. As of now FB was mostly able to perform this kind of tracking without the user really knowing, the only thing Apple does here is drag this practice into the open and give users a real choice.

In my opinion a privacy-first OS should inhibit any kind of cross-app / cross-device personal tracking, I predict this will happen in the next 5-10 years, for now it seems to be too extreme still.

Concentration (on anything) as an escape hatch away from the otherwise general noise on the mind (which games and music can give) needs to be distinguished from concentration resulting from a general and deep availability of one's being for any activity at hand.

>> people shoulnd't expect a next-gen game to run well on prev-gen hardware

I don’t understand this sentiment. The game’s been in development for 8 years and was scheduled to launch before next-gen hardware. They partnered with MS on a custom skin last-gen Xbox. The game plays in comparability mode in next-gen hardware. In no way was this billed as a next-gen game.
1. Why do I have to do that; what is the underlying bug?

In our case biggest problem arose with Pandas, where each dataframe transform would need to have it's own type. When there are a lot of transforms it is more readable to infer what type variable has just by looking at transforms (more or less) or when needing to be precise step through the code with ipdb/jupyter etc.

What about incremental typing? That's what we did, and to be honest I wouldn't do it again. Yes, it's nice to see what type function is returning/arguments it's accepting, but if the name is shit type won't tell you much - you are better off spending more time of figure out better naming convention (prepend dataframes with df_ for example) and keep at it.

Another problem with incremental typing is that now of course you will have to decide whether to annotate/not annotate, and when reading code thinking why this is annotated and that is not annotated.
Yeah, but that involves upfront costs, walking into a house and other location to forcibly take an antiquity is free...
These are useful.

#5 is one that I like. In the past, I’ve had to specify concrete sizes for elements, then set margins of minus half that value. This is better.

I would like to be able to do the same type of thing for background images, but this technique could give me the same effect.
You're right, I had no idea how realistic drivers behave in newer games. Would be interesting to see what tricks GTA pulls off to hide the limits of their AI. Obviously they do a better job.

(Sidenote: When the guy started beating up pedestrians I just couldn't continue watching that video. Maybe I'm getting old.)
GTA generally is pretty good about keeping things close to you around, e.g. looking backwards won't usually remove traffic in front of you. The most obvious case are NPCs that aren't "relevant" anymore, e.g. people that have places around the city that depend on time of day. If their "active" time ends, they'll start wandering off from their location. If you follow one, you can for a long time, but if you then even look away for a split second they'll be removed, presumably because the game tracks them as something it wants to unload after their useful time has ended, but won't do it while you look.

In earlier GTAs like San Andreas there is an explicit difference between "traffic in the distance" and "traffic close by" - the former will be removed if out of sight, doesn't have full-fidelity 3D models, apparently doesn't have physics applied to them, ... Once they get close enough, they get more complete and sticky. (GTA V quite possibly does the same, I just know less about the details there and its a lot less obvious)
They will serve same content to users with JS enabled and legit Googlebots while blocking clients w/o JS and bots. I don't think it violates Google rules but ofc is of questionable decency.
Probably. Both Google and Facebook have other ingenious ways to target however. The IDFA tag was low hanging fruit.

This is a stupid deal:
User gives away data for free to these corporations and they sell it to make insane profits. Those that pay for such data pass on the costs to their customers.

Eventually, it is the same user who gave away his data for free that pays too. Double taxation.

>The whole reason online advertising is so difficult to profit on is because Facebook and Google have sucked all profit out of the room.

But it could also be because Facebook and Google were first to build products the mainstream users loved so much! Or maybe they were just lucky they launched at the right time.

But they definitely were not there first to do this(abuse advertising), they just happened to join a game and they excelled at it.

Here is a quote from How the Internet Happened

“The first genuine advertisement on the World Wide Web was published by Global Network Navigator, which, in 1993, sold an ad to a Silicon Valley law firm, Heller, Ehrman, White & McAuliffe. It was text only, a glorified classified listing. Later, GNN sold the first sponsored hyperlink, pointing to a children’s catalog retailer called Hand in Hand. Clicking sent a user to the company’s rudimentary web page to learn more about Hand in Hand’s strollers and cribs.16 But those experiments were simply one-off, cash-for-placement deals. The HotWired team was attempting something more ambitious, both technically and aesthetically. Two advertising advertising and digital design firms, Modem Media and Organic, were brought on board and tasked with designing and selling something that felt closer to a magazine-style ad. Big. Colorful. Eye-catching. These would be the very first banner ads. Joe McCambley was a creative executive at Modem Media. “I remember having a big debate—and we probably argued for an hour or so—about whether or not it should even be a color ad,” McCambley says. “We knew we could make it smaller [in terms of bytes] if it were black and white. We knew there was a large percentage of people out there that only had black and white monitors anyway.”
“At that time, you couldn’t actually even center a banner,” remembers Organic’s Jonathan Nelson. “Everything was flush left. You would make the banners only two or three different colors. And you couldn’t have complex graphics in them because everybody was on modems at the time. Bandwidth was extremely limited.” If a graphical ad took two minutes to download onscreen, no one would read the article, much less see the banner ad.”
This is a constantly shifting field where the problems never get solved. As a result, this is still a good read, despite the submissions over time.

Using A.I to Create Content with Przemek Chojecki of Contentyze
Yes, playing it as anything but a rails game seems to be wildly out of character once the story has progressed beyond the initial handshake. The open world backdrop makes the railed story far more immersive than an actual rails tunnel that you cannot leave could ever be, but only if you mostly ignore it. And the main story track is pulling much stronger than in something like Skyrim.

With this game it's probably a generational thing on more than one level: not only do most people tend to grow out of side quest competitionism at some point, I suspect that older parts of the audience are also drawn into this particular main story stronger than their younger peers. It's just so perfectly 1990ies vibe that you almost forget that people did not in fact have mind machine interfaces and fancy prosthetic limbs when they sent their first email on AOL. The game represents exactly how people born around 1977 remember the movies of their youth (entirely unlike how you'd perceive them if you'd see them today).
What's amazing is how true this is culturally and for discourse as well, for me. With the amount of activism now happening in the western world, it's amazing that it's not against China or other abusers of human rights. No, it's usually against your own country which is multiples better to live in than somewhere like China from an oppression point of view, yet it's taken decades to even get it into the conversation.
It's literally taken concentration camps of muslims for even a mild interest to take place in big media organisations about whether China is a decent place or not.

And I'm not saying they should cover it. They're free to do what they want. But claiming to be activists against tyranny and oppression while ignoring china is very hypocritical.

Git has a steep learning curve especially when coming from long time svn users. At least that’s what happened to me. It took some mentorship to unfuck my brain and become acclimated to DVCS. Git is still hard to use in some

I can attest for meditation. If I try to sum up the insight in the case of ADHD it's that the next thing will not be more interesting than the present, and that simply being can be more pleasing than "doing" something. It's not only intellectual, there is a whole well-being feeling that comes up (at least for me). So the whole never-ending fall forward to find the next best/more interesting becomes kind of pointless in the process. Maybe not a cure but an efficient way to keep it under control instead of suffering from it.
> Is this why the web is less successful than it might be?

No. The success of the web has nothing to do with CSS. By all standards the web has over-achieved and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future of humanity. CSS is an order of magnitude better these days. Browsers are playing nicer together except Safari. Chrome uses more resources than a triple A game title but sets the standard.

Well, as for acks specifically -- cimbar itself doesn't really need them, thanks to fountain codes [0].

But I can imagine a reverse (request?) channel being useful, if it had enough bandwidth for the desired application. :)

As /u/ggerganov notes elsewhere in this thread (with some expertise on the audio side -- I can't claim any), the bandwidth of any audio channel is probably going to be pretty bad.

edit: Notwithstanding how viable of an idea it might be, HTTP over audio+video would be pretty neat. :)

Amazon appears to be determined to make itself an untrustworthy place to buy stuff. It's like it's actively trying to get itself lumped in with eBay as a "tat-bazaa" as The Register likes to call it.

I've become increasingly wary of buying things on Amazon for this very reason. I recently bought several pieces of electrical/elecronic gear, and didn't buy either from Amazon. I don't trust that the named brand stuff will be genuine, and I don't trust that the unknown-brand stuff will be any good, irrespective of the reviews. I've had too many cards with my orders promising freebies for positive reviews to trust anything I read there now.

I now pretty much only buy low-risk stuff on amazon.
That's your experience, but my experience is very different. I rooted my phone, installed DroidWall (now AFWall) and have iptable rules to block apps from accessing the internet.

I can stop programs from running on startup and can force them to be killed instantly when they are closed so they aren't running in the background.

I can also write and run my own programs without having to own Apple hardware and can distribute them without paying $99.

For me, it really is a question of privacy vs walled garden and I choose to give up some privacy.

I can see how it it a difficult problem, I don't think right needs to equal "free in any circumstance", I mean the right to be able to access it for a reasonable price.

Like, here in DK, I have a RIGHT to electricity, not for free, but no matter where I live geographically in this country, I have a right to be able to buy a home, and a right to a electricity subscription, the electrics company cannot just say "nah, we don't wish you as a customer" unless I really do something wrong.

For E-Mail addresses, it's not so, if nobody wants to provide me with one, then that's just too bad.
Electricity is somewhat easier then email, because "the power I got yesterday" has no connection to the power I get today.. We also have a right to phone numbers, meaning that if I switch to a new provider, my phone number follows to my new subscription with no additional fee.

But if I switch e-mail provider from gmail to proton, I've no right to have my email address, no less the actual inbox transferred to my new provider.
