I'm afraid my DEC assembly language study ended at the PDP-11, but it is edifying to know the VAX had such an instruction.

In some domains like numerical programming, ML, and graphics using SDF having a Calc 102 operation like a gradient op might be considered useful enough to include in a RISC instruction set, and the RISC entry on Wikipedia says this about the RISC-V architecture:

> The ISA is designed to be extensible from a barebones core sufficient for a small embedded processor to supercomputer and cloud computing use with standard and chip designer defined extensions and coprocessors.

Maybe a derivative op belongs in a math coprocessor?
comedians know how to take heat better than almost anyone. they stand on stage, alone. Seinfeld has done this literally thousands of times. think he's afraid of critical response? not remotely.

and it's not just Seinfeld, many comedians have said the same thing. as Dave Chappelle recently pointed out, the audience is the problem:

> Since Smith arrived in the fall of 2017, some employees have struggled with his leadership style and complained that he has acted too slowly, pushing Blue Origin to become more like a traditional aerospace company than a nimble new-space startup. But from Smith's perspective, he's trying to implement a culture transformation, from a hobby-shop atmosphere to that of a major aerospace contractor that can go out and win major NASA and Defense Department contracts.

If it's true, it looks like a complete failure of the leadership. The manager should first and foremost articulate what he's trying to do, and explain well why, and it's hard to imagine competent BO personnel not understanding - so the difference in positions means it wasn't explained well enough.
Right, so DP 1.3 which supports "32.4 Gbit/s with the new HBR3... a 5K display (5120 × 2880) at 60 Hz with 30 bit/px RGB color" is enough.

The UP2715K, only support dual link DP 1.2/HBR2, which was a bit of a PITA on my machine because nvidia's board partners don't always do a good job of describing which ports on the back of the card can be used for dual link.

I think it definitely stereotypes, but it’s a defense mechanism. I think it’s possible, but too risky to attempt.

It’s a situation where the Times is clearly in the wrong, but this guy is out of a job. Because of the thoroughness of these posts and the references to lawyers, the best case is this guy gets millions after a few years of litigation.

But that’s why the reasonable action is to just avoid the risk. That’s easier than trying to fix teenagers, large orgs, etc

We may be agreed in fact, to some extent at least. My claim, and I believe the article's as well, is that this model of the world and agents and everything will not probably be learned just by consuming ever larger quantities of text and adding ever more parameters to the model.

But I would also claim that our conversation now is unlikely to be predictable without some model of the world. It's not 'you produce some text, I produce some text', it's 'you produce some text, I run it through my model of the world, my inference engine produces some other model of the world, and then that gets translated to some text in reply'.
> Someone being cancelled who shouldn't have been: Monica Lewinsky

When was Monica Lewinsky “cancelled”? The closest to that would be the negative treatment she got from Clinton’s reflexive defenders in the late 90s during the scandal, but that's substantially before the supposed sudden, recent emergence of “cancel culture”, and her current profile rather undercuts the catastrophic descriptions of “cancellation”.
AOL launched around 1991 if I recall. I remember watching with great interest (I think I may have been in some kind of beta program) as it was obvious (at least to me at the time) that digital communications with a graphical UI was the future. (At the time in the US, there were a few commercial information services that were textual, General Electric Network Information Exchange and CompuServe were the big ones... followed by Prodigy which basically looked like teletext or a Bloomberg terminal for the home- it was clear that something better could be done, which ended up being AOL).

The original AOL client shipped for DOS with Digital Research's GEM widget kit, it wouldn't surprise me if they used additional DR hardware and software on the backend (VAX anyone?). When I worked on the AOL project, I would see e-mails from AOL ops (from AOL screen names, no less!) about how they would take scary and unique sounding things like "access rotors" down, so I suspect that given how early the launch was, the backend was extremely bespoke simply because they were making things up as they went along in order to launch a new and unique thing.

It wouldn't surprise me one bit to learn that it ran on VAX, HP3000, AS/400 or perhaps something even older and larger. You didn't hear about horizontal scaling nearly as much back then, most scaling consisted of "buy a bigger computer."
It's a reaction to fear. In this case, an overreaction. People are afraid to say the wrong thing. People are afraid of having once said a wrong thing, to potentially sully their legacy or impact their career like a ticking time bomb. Or even be peripherally responsible for harboring someone who once said a wrong thing. This social movement towards accountability has created a sense of paranoia and friendly-fire, and it's not healthy for anyone.

It sounds 'clean' but the remaining artefacts are quite weird. Somehow the intonation/timing feels off, which is just sounds plain odd. The compression artefacts are 'ugly' but at least recogniseable as compression artefacts.
Probably something similar. What’s sad is that it’s a defeatist tactic that misses out on lots of great things.

I would be pretty angry if my boss wouldn’t have dinner or private conversations with me just because of my sex.
Windows definitely allows you to shoot yourself in the foot, but nowadays those settings are hidden away by non-flashy applications, which has now become synonymous with "advanced user shit I probably shouldn't be touching".

Though the difference is, if something gets royally screwed up on MacOS, at least there's a sane enough way to reset it. On Windows, it often entails a reformat.

And let's not get started on the Windows Updates. They too have the whole "reset settings" problem (e.g. "don't f&!king restart my computer randomly", which gets reset every somewhat major update).

>Best we can do is trusting someone's memory, which is not really reliable.

I disagree, we can do a lot better than just blindly believing, aka "trusting", any claim just because it was made by someone in the past.

First off, in a time when it was common to broadcast all kinds of shows on the radio, including variety shows, readings of novels, and plays/dramas, I find it rather dubious that a large number of people panicked and thought there's an actual alien invasion rather than just assuming it's another show.

It also wasn't the only thing on the radio at that moment. The linked article mentions that a far more popular comedy variety show was broadcasting at the same time, so again, a huge number of people just panicked and thought aliens were invading, even though they could turn their dial and see only one station was talking about it.

Finally, where are the first hand accounts? Where are the accounts of people who panicked, or who's family members, friends, or neighbors were panicking?

Given all of this, I think what's likely is that the broadcast raised some eyebrows at the time (some people perhaps called the police for more information), and was later blown out of proportion for publicity reasons.
Just talking with a supplier while integrating your payload under ITAR can bring enough problems. Hell, US military sales, directly approved by Department of State, ended sometimes canceled because despite the usual circus of bribery involved ITAR was just that much of an impediment.

I don't know about most states, but in Maryland, the tenent is automatically entitled to attorney's fees when the landlord improperly withholds a deposit.

Granted, if you are poor, this likely means that you need to find a lawyer willing to work on contingency.

For what it is worth, just threatening to sue along with citing the relevent law and possible damages is probably enough. Landlords don't like going to court either, so if you make even a halfway credible threat they will probably pay.
I figured you didn't edit maliciously, I just wanted to explain where the extra content in my quote came from.

That doesn't hold when your document is presupposed on there being an issue that most practitioners are ignorant to. "How to fit X" is very different from "People who don’t fit X are harmful to society". The latter absolutely needs to justify a number of things.

The reality is that for the vast majority of customers they don't want expandable storage, they just want more storage. The average customer doesn't know how to install an SD card, format it and ensure that files are saved to the SD card and nowhere else.

I had countless customers ask me with their shiny new Samsung/Sony device that they have ran out of storage because they cant or don't know how to save images to their SD card. Or some versions wouldn't even allow you to save certain system files, applications or games to the SD card that was locked to the device.

If you want a device with an SD card because you need expandable memory, then you are not the majority of customers.

I think it's useful to present a different software engineering analogy. Getting into Stuyvesant is a lot like getting a job at a FANG company. Much like Stuyvesant, these companies tell you up front that you should practice for the test and provide links to study materials. They tell you that your normal experience of doing well at work/school is not necessarily enough, even if you are very good. The purpose of this entrance filter is not actually to select the smartest people or the most deserving people, but to select the best people - where "best" is on a scale of merit that is combination of being smart, knowing how to play the game, and being willing to dedicate yourself to passing the filter. When you think about this, it's important to note that it is not the case that students who don't get into a top school are all academically worthless, the same way that is true that many good engineers cannot/will not work at FANG.
A fair point if you're evaluating actual usage rather than just quality, but Google isn't going to be only one with this sort of codec. We can expect better free versions to come along in time.
Here's an EBU R 128 measure using r128gain:

File 'reference.flac': loudness = -25.7 LUFS, sample peak = -9.2 dBFS
File 'lyra.flac': loudness = -19.9 LUFS, sample peak = -4.1 dBFS
File 'opus.flac': loudness = -25.9 LUFS, sample peak = -9.7 dBFS

So that also matches pretty closely what my ears heard.
It’s pretty incredible to see the amount of steaming developers commenting on this issue. What tools do developers have, when platform providers turn a deaf ear to their needs?
Honestly, it's viewpoints like yours that I despise the most. We have innocent people losing their careers with no due process, just mob justice, and what do you people do? "Oh, republicans did it 30 years ago, so any criticism is invalid." Honestly, F that. I was never even alive for what you are talking about. How about we try to build a better society where people don't lose their jobs for their views, rather than pursue some sadistic version of "payback" towards the right for what they did 30 years ago?
Okay, fair. I guess what I should have said is "he needs to learn how to tell his story in a way that people want to listen." Finding an editor is likely an easier solution than relearning how to write.
I think just saying "it's timbre" or stating these terms isn't helpful. I've read dozens of articles that try to explain these concepts but still left me with lingering questions.

This was my attempt to show you how you can derive the answer from first principles, just by analyzing the sound, and forming your own hypothesis/getting to these conclusions yourself.

The links at the end do have resources for the physics and theory behind it.
> Sigh. The HackerNews standard of pushing some logic to its limits and going "HA, GOTCHA" is getting tiring.

So is the Hacker News standard of ignoring the entire point just to nag about said supposed standard. Sigh.

Said entire point, specifically, being that there are far more reasons to develop and maintain software beyond "value for end users", and that even when targeting that specific reason, developing against esoteric cases does ensure the software is more robust even for "normal" use cases.

(And mind you, logic - like software - should be pushed to its limits, because that's the most surefire way to identify its flaws - like, for example, the failure to consider that nearly all computing platforms in existence and use today were and are the product of some large corporation that could be paying your bills but won't, or the failure to consider that it's users, not hardware vendors, who are generating support requests for their hardware)

>> X-37B

So the X-37 has a down-mass capacity. That means it has either docked or at least intercepted with something else in space close enough to transfer material. I was unaware that it could perform such maneuvers. I certainly haven't read anything in the open source about such missions.

> I'm genuinely curious if this is a good strategy, relationship-wise.

Probably depends on the relationship.

I've found that during a conflict, I'm never 100% articulate or appropriate, so I will apologize for the mistakes I made during the discussion. If after the discussion, both of us agree that I was originally in the wrong, then of course, I'll apologize. But why apologize if you've done nothing wrong? That sets a really bizarre precedent: I'd rather placate someone who disagrees with me than to be able to express myself to a life partner. Why? If this is the person you're in a loving relationship with, why do they need so much protection from your viewpoints?

That said, I'm not immune to the equation:

(die_on_this_hill_factor / (perceived_anger_of_partner * estimated_kwh_of_ongoing_conflict)) *
(personal_energy * previous_perceived_slights_against_me * stress * recent_affirmations_about_topic)

If that value is below some threshold, drop it and move on, and depending on the outcome, sure, apologize. But apologizing every single time sounds like someone who wants to live their life wrapped around someone else's pinky.

Matrix is an open standard for decentralized secure communications. Matrix’s mission is to make messaging as open as email. For those who do not know us, data sovereignty and end-to-end encryption seem to be really potent differentiators especially for governments and civic institutions.
