Yeah, but are those studies RCTs?

I will develop on any OS you force me to as long as you pay for my IntelliJ license. But seriously, I consider IntelliJ more important than the underlying OS to be productive as a developer.
I mean the original Deus Ex is two decades old, so it's definitely undergone some of the "Seinfeld effect", but I feel generally even a game that old managed to achieve better depth.

Dialog and augmentations actually changed how missions played out in meaningful ways, meanwhile 2077 seemingly has dialog choices to give the illusion of choice (and it's a shoddy illusion since your character always ends up talking their way to the "titular" choice if you didn't make it yourself).
The theme underpinning this comment is that the competition can't scale up - which is effectively a view that TSMC can't scale up and indeed TSMC is the big risk in this hypothesis.

But TSMC has scaled up quickly before to produce 200m+ iPhone CPUs. And the money is there - Amazon, MS, Google, Nvidia and even AMD are not exactly paupers.

As I've said below Intel's P/E ratio is less than 10. That's extraordinarily low for a company in this market with growing revenue and eps. Clearly the market agrees with me that Intel can't sustain these earnings even over the medium term.
"Having TouchID as part of the computer is a nice surprise." my thought exactly (besides other aspects) about my 2019 Macbook Pro. Having to just press a "key" is a widely different experience compared to having to type yet-another password. Although... my mid-2017 OnePlus 5 smartphone is far more reliable and rapid than my laptop. Did aPPLe fillany braught back touhc IDz to a larger device but failed mizerably? I bet it was them different teams phenomenon.
You can install a third party OS on an M1 Mac or rather... you will be able to as soon as someone ports a third party OS to the M1 Macs. Someone is already making a Linux port.
thank you for stopping making this awful and hurtful product...
If you don't want the chip to throttle, the simple answer is to get the Macbook Pro, not hack together a crappy laptop from a Mac Mini :)

Even then, the throttling on the Air seems pretty minor. About ~30% drop in performance after it levels off, which takes several minutes. Less if you get one of those pads with a fan in it that blows on the case.
> the place to file copyright infringement cases is San Francisco, because that’s the place where you are most likely to win.

I dunno, Oracle kept losing against Google in the case they in the Northern District of California (the district encompassing San Francisco), and kept having the get the Federal Circuit (in Washington, D.C.) to revive the case for them.

If you mean to insinuate something about the court that actually ruled here (the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit), you don’t actually have to file in San Francisco, or even its judicial district, for that court to be in the appellate chain (the case here was filed in the Southern District of California), because the Ninth Circuit is the appeals court for normal cases (but not cases that ever had patent claims, which go to the Federal Circuit) for a wide area [0]. And it would be silly, because (1) I don’t see any evidence that the Ninth is particularly copyright maximalist compared to other circuits, and (2) to the extent that it has taken a hard position on copyright claims in certain cases, its often been portrayed as hostile to the music and film industry that is so powerful in the state in so doing.

Doctors are free to use drugs off label also, so that is consistent.

The constraints around producers (drugs, devices) are tight, but the clinicians can do what they think is worthwhile from there.
“Statistically not effective” doesn’t necessarily mean no patient ever gains from the treatment.

It could be that we just cannot discriminate well enough between those for whom it would be a gain in health and those for whom it would be a loss.

An example is the yearly checkup with a GP. It might save your life, but definitely costs time, and also may lead to somewhat risky tests for many. Better selection of those to be tested can make that much more effective.
Seems like the correct ruling given the law. Maybe the law should be changed, but that’s a different issue.

No one would give a crap about this if it didn’t mashup two extremely IPs. Should people be allowed to freely cash-in on existing IP? Maybe! Can they today? Not really no.

I quite like many of the Sherlock Holmes remakes that exist. I’d love to see IP enter the public domain far far sooner. Seuss and OG Star Trek should almost definitely be public domain by now IMHO.

I think the distinction is that if those two pieces of code had a different idea of what a word is then that would constitute a bug, then you definitely need to replicate the 'how to find words' logic. But if it doesn't really matter if two different pieces of code are using the same exact way to do something, then that's likely 'coincidental' replication. If you need to do word splitting, and someone else has written a word splitter, by all means copy paste their code to get you started, but definitely don't assume the best plan is to pull their code in as a dependency.
Ive seen it as a combo of too things. Confidence of ignorance and there is nothing more motivating to succeed than feeling low social status and feeling like you should be higher.
This article seems to have a lot more data on how they chose the first 5000:
https://www.propublica.org/article/only-seven-of-stanfords-f...

That article still doesn't give hard numbers on who actually is getting the vaccine in the first wave, but the implication is they have a sorting algorithm that heavily weighs the risk of serious negative outcomes due to age. Since residents just out of med school will most likely be some of the youngest members of the staff they got sorted lower. One of those things that looks completely reasonable in planning ("Let's put the people statistically highest at risk of dying first in line!") that shakes out in a way that looks terrible ("We put some of the lowest paid, hardest working employees at the back of the line").
Yeah, it's so silly I almost don't believe it. This isn't something like the car emissions scandel where nobody will notice if you don't actually solve the problem, if another one of these things crashes then this whole thing starts over

Australian “Cyberpunk 2077” game packaging comes with Image Not Found icon
This system uses ARM's Neoverse-N1 CPU cores. Ampere put it in a socket, but it's still "ARM's" CPU core. This isn't a custom design like Apple's CPUs.

And per the article it sounds like it's ARM's fault this can't exceed 3.3 ghz. That seems to be a Neoverse-N1 limitation:

"Fundamentally, the Altra’s handling of frequency and power in such a manner is simply a by-product of the Neoverse-N1 cores not being able to clock in higher than 3.3GHz"
Google, Amazon and Microsoft are all confirmed or rumoured to be working on their own ARM-based server CPUs. Apple is almost certainly mulling the option too. This has huge implications for x86. If all the big internet players start developing their own chips, we could very quickly see ARM powering a huge portion of the worlds servers.

This is all happening because ARM licenses it’s core design and ISA to anyone. It’s becoming relatively easy for major internet companies to design and implement their own bespoke CPU designs, optimized for their unique workloads. This means better performance, and lower energy costs, which is critical for these massive datacentres. The optimization benefits offered by that degree of vertical integration is something Intel may not be able to compete with.

For Intel this is obviously terrible news. Severs are their second biggest cash cow, and MS might end up being merely among the first of many internet companies to pursue their own CPU designs. This could foretell a rapid shift away from Intel and x86 in the server space.

This has implications for their PC chip business too. More money invested into ARM processors, means more R&D for ARM-based designs, which means better ARM chips in PC and mobile. This makes Intel less competitive in the PC space.
I agree strongly with the main thrust of this article, but it doesn't support the "Loss of Locality" prong of the argument very well.

> when reading through the original caller, it is less clear what the code does

In my experience it is usually clearer, if the function has an even remotely appropriate name. And unless you are coding with notepad.exe, toggling between caller and callee is pretty trivial.

> When you move this code to a function as a part of a straightforward DRY refactoring, this means that now a function is mutating its parameters.

Whether that matters depends a lot on the language.

And anyway it seems like the main problem in code like that is that the function is inappropriately mutating state outside of itself in a surprising way, which might be a problem separate from dryness.

"Loss of Locality" does strike me as reasonable argument against code that is too dehydrated though. Maybe somebody else can make some better supporting claims for it?
Here is an utterly terrifying thought for Intel: These Microsoft processors are clearly destined for their own servers. That’s bad for Intel, but not existential.

But what if Microsoft takes the lessons learned from making their server chips, and uses that to develop their own chips for the Surface. Again, bad for Intel, but hardly a huge deal.

But what if Microsoft then takes these Surface chips, and licenses them to Windows manufacturers to create the next generation of PCs... PCs that can compete with the M1 in terms of performance and efficiency.

For Microsoft, the benefits would be immense. Microsoft obviously knows Windows better than anyone, and would be able to tailor both the operating system and their CPUs to work far more efficiently than Wintel. This also increases Microsoft’s vertical integration and control over the Windows operating system, which they’d no doubt view as positive.
Microsoft becomes vendor of the Windows operating system and the CPUs it runs on. Intel systems would be at a permanent competitive disadvantage, as they don’t have the tight level of integration of Windows and MS-designed chips.

The off the shelf ARM core designs are likely good enough for Microsoft to create an offering that’s competitive with Intel, if they implement some tweaks to make it integrate and perform better with Windows (as Apple has done with M1 and macOS)

This might sound bonkers right now, but there’s definitely a version of the future where we’re buying a Dell XPS powered by Windows 10 and “Microsoft Silicon”

Same here, same experience with my meniscus looking like loose egg white (though I was under general for the procedure, I saw pics afterward).

I did PT before (didn't help, I had mechanical locking) and after (did help).

PT doesn't help some physical issues, but I had shoulder problems that PT fixed 100% and they've stayed fixed for years. IMO, it's important for a physician to treat each case as unique, and start with conservative therapy and move to more invasive measures.

Now I'm doing PT yet again because I have an onset of carpal tunnel syndrome, but it looks like I'll probably be going under the knife for it...

You’re working with dynamic languages; it’s a hard problem.

The jetbrains tools do a pretty great job with typescript and when you use annotations in pycharm.... or anything where the types can be rigorously determined; but, obviously, it’s not perfect when the type system says “anything is fine”.

As for building the project; Python just totally sucks at reproducible builds. I don’t think pycharm can fix the entire packaging ecosystem.

So, fair... it’s not perfect; but compared to what? Have you used tools with better support, better stability? Better tooling?

It’s a pretty high bar to clear to say the editor isn’t completely perfect.

Yeah yeah, it uses Java, it eats your ram and the cpu can go crazy, sometimes you need to reset the cache or delete your entire .idea folder.

Eh.

I also wish it was better at some things, but I still love it; what’s the alternative? Visual studio? Hahaha~~~~
> "Iverson was more interested in how quickly a person could understand an algorithm"

Has there been any study of whether J is quicker or slower than APL for this? Subjectively, APL is pretty and enticing in a way that J isn't.

It's very strange to me that someone who promoted Iverson Notation as a better math notation, and wrote Notation as a Tool of Thought, could apparently completely switch notation from 30 years of established APL symbols to pairs of ASCII symbols, effectively overnight, and carry on as if nothing was any different.

How much of J's success is because J was free and the big APLs were a lot of money, so J has been "the free way to get an array language experience" for years?
The whole DRY concept irritates my inner curmudgeon because it is itself a lousy repetition of the (formal mathematical) concept of refactoring. When you refactor code it's just like factoring an algebraic equation. If you're just removing duplication without understanding how it affects the structure of the system then it's a kind of "cargo cult" programming (IMO.)

Even when you know what you're doing. there's good refactoring[1] and bad refactoring[2].

[1] https://osdn.net/projects/joypy/scm/git/Thun/commits/aa43eb6... This is a good clean bit of refactoring: it makes the branch symmetrical and lets you move code to a common post-branch step.

[2] https://github.com/calroc/HulloWurld/blob/master/Hullo.html#... This is a terrible function that, while it abstracts the core of the two following functions well, makes the system harder to understand. In other words, the three factored functions are less desirable than the original pair of functions despite their redundancy, because the original functions were easy to understand and the new factored helper funtion is inscrutable. Context counts.

Study finds traffic light system helps reduce clinical uncertainty
it would seem like one could not construct a perfect replica of a quantum system

It was always confusing why this replica has to be perfect. Even two “you” separated by a nanosecond in time are not perfect replicas at all. Why not to allow some impreciseness and teleport “quantumly uncertain” bodies instead of perfect copies? You can’t even know what’s perfect or not by the same principle. Moreover, maybe our structure allows very imperfect copying while retaining the same functionality after few minutes of teleache.
Low Earth Orbit (LEO) which the ISS is in is very different from deep space. You can get away with much less radiation hardening in LEO. For example, I know a company consumer-grade Xilinx MPSoCs with 4xA53 cores at 1.5GHz.
For Mars, at least, that would be tens of minutes round trip because of the speed of light.

It works for some things, but for pathfinding it isn’t a great fit.

The other issue is bandwidth between the craft and Earth, which is quite limited.

Maybe there would be benefits to a “orbiting datacenter” around Mars carrying a bunch of rad-hardened compute? I assume NASA has considered this and decided it would be a bad idea.
The reason for that is because most insightful people do not have an externally visible firm position on most things. There is bias in your experience because the people you see with these highly visible entrenched beliefs are a subset of all people.

A separate subset of people focus more often on the interesting and unique aspects of the issue. They tend to outwardly express their insights about the situation as opposed to their opinions.
Perhaps x86 has been 'fast enough' for most people, but the M1 is as fast (or faster) using less power. Even if the M1 was 'only' as fast as other chips, then it's performance-per-watt would still be impressive.

Further, as someone who deals with HPC at $WORK, our (medical) researchers always want faster.
Yes, but almost all of the studies referenced in the guidelines took place in Africa, where proper genital hygiene and sex-ed is not taught. If you teach your kids to properly clean under the foreskin, circumcision largely loses its advantages.

This didn't happen when I just attempted it.

If you read the article, they say that they got more clicks and pageviews, but fewer conversions, likely because they hadn't spent time optimizing the AMP site for conversions.
Consider drones/AI-tech similar to nuclear weapons in terms of its deterrace as well as assault capabitities.

- What if adversaries develop full AI-tech with weapons mounted on them? How can a nation defend against such a threat?

- What if democracies around the world get wiped out by such a tech which has no public opposition in communist/ authoritarian states? They will and are developing such technology.

- We just saw the use of (non-AI) drone military tech in the Armenia-Azerbaijan war. Being defenseless is not an option.

It's terrible. There are times where it starts to feel like a bait and switch

For example, without spoilers:

There's a point where you're speaking to a friendly character, and a mutual contact is possibly hurt.

Your options are essentially to blame your friend for what happened or to remind them that your mutual friend might be hurt (the idea being you can't afford to give up now)

By choosing to remind your friend of this mutual contact... you berate your friend! Eventually... blaming them for what happened!

I mean it's so painfully transparent that you can literally hear the switch up in intonation where your "fake choice" meets up with the real choice the game wants to go with.
There is already a product on the market call RECCO. It is a two part system very similar to what you described. The reflector is seen directly into coat, boots, you name it. SAR then uses a device that sends out a signal that bounces off the reflectors.

The whole point of college is to figure out what you want to do, explore, network and learn how to learn.

The amount of learning that happens outside of classes, during labs with peers, is on par with lecture halls if not more. I've seen side projects, discussed random technologies, even startup MVPs on Campus.

That's where the real value lies. That and an environment where there's cutting edge research.

Right now, it's both.

The decoder has a lot of image processing work to do (intriguingly well-suited for the GPU), and also lots of popcnts. I've optimized it a fair bit, but there's probably some tricks I still need to learn. It turns out that mobile processors don't like heat very much, and blow out their cache much quicker than you'd hope. :)

In the long run, I think your intuition is correct. The hard physics of the camera constraints (exposure time, etc) will put a hard upper bound on FPS+fidelity, and thus bandwidth.
That’s an elegant and insightful way to describe what’s going on in the developed world. Do you have a vision for a way out of the quagmire of speculation affluenza for the few and envy for the many without opportunity to you know.. make things again?
Well, GCP followed that principle as their service account auth mechanisms did not fall over. So if you were to compare with AWS, it looks like something similar was happening.

The infrastructure running the auth service, like any service, is going to have a quota system, whether it's global or not. The lesson learned might be different if it wasn't global ("prevent fast changes to the quota system for the auth service") but the conclusion would be substantially similar - there is usually no good reason, and plenty of danger, for routine adjustments to large infrastructure to take place in a brusque manner.

That doesn't mean that non-infrastructure service needs to abide by the same rules...

Under-the-hood of React Hooks – a look at state and effect mechanisms
While what you say is true, it doesn't have anything to do with quantum mechanics. I'm sure the ancient Greeks would have had no problem understanding that if you put a red ball in one box and a blue ball in another box then if you open a box and see a blue ball you'd know that the red ball is in the other box.

In quantum mechanics, entanglement is more about the fact that until a measurement is performed on one of the balls, both balls are simultaneously blue and red and will behave as if it was in a superposition of both colors up until a measurement is performed. By extension, any other property that depends on the color of those balls will also be entangled with the balls and behave in a superposition of whatever properties are entangled.

For example if a washing machine washes clothes with hot water if the blue ball is in box A, and washed with cold water if the blue ball is in box B, then that washing machine will be washing clothes with hot and cold water until a measurement is performed on any of the balls or the washing machine itself. The clothes being washed will simultaneously be expanding (from hot water) and contracting (from cold water).

Only once a measurement is performed on any part of the entangled system will every property of the system collapse into a definite state of red or blue, hot or cold, expanded or contracted.
