How much are you paying? Most often times I see this kind of reasoning, digging deeper shows that the salaries are not competitive. There's a large number of us that just want to work on interesting problems for adequate money and don't care what the toolset is. I'm fully on board with the idea of being paid to write Fortran.

Also, COBOL's problem isn't so much that younger generations aren't excited about it, but that the problems in the domain solved by COBOL all require highly specialized domain knowledge about an obtuse set of systems said code runs on (with most of their documentation paywalled, at least until recently). The barriers to entry are much, much higher and few companies are willing to train at the rates the language demands.

I posted this because of the alarming (alarmist?) price-hike and I'm curious. Does anyone have other info on this?
The Seam Metaphor in Software Architecture
Observing petard hoisting isn't the same as adopting it as an all-encompassing worldview, if you allow the commenter any charity at all.
I don't dispute any of what you say; in fact, I think perhaps even not just a topic for the 'educated' but also in more popular venues.

But the context here was Cromwell talking about (hypothetically) preferring to allow 'Mahometanism' to be practised in England, not just as an idea or social construct of far-away others.

Since there wasn't any great likelihood that any legal or social changes were going to actually cause 'Mahometanism' to suddenly flourish in England, it is indeed a pretty easy throw-away remark.
I don't think I've read that before, thanks! Yeah, I believe there's also a very primitive NN on AMD's latest chips as well. I believe they used it on their branch predictors. I can't find the URL at such a short notice, though.
This is silly. They could still keep the store strict and let you side load apps like on Android or the Mac. We would all lose nothing and only gain.

That's actually an interesting cultural and language difference. Being Russian, I never thought about the offense meaning of the word "master" in English, at least in this context.

The reason is that in Russia word "master" ("мастер") means something like "an expert in his field", usually referred to professionals. It seems that it has the same Latin root but evolved into a different meaning. So the Russian meaning is more close to the Italian "Maestro".

And for me, that meaning was a good fit for the "master" branch, like it contains something professionally made or finished, and just learned that Americans put different meaning when they were deciding on the branch's name.
Pretty neat tool, thx for sharing!
It’s like those star registries, but with less of a story less polish and 100% more scam.
I don't think this is a good solution at all. If mom believed the scam at the time she retweeted it there's absolutely no crime there. Being wrong or deceived is not a crime. Frankly your proposing punishing the victim.

Any actual solution would have to target the creators of the disinformation, and maybe those who knowingly spread it. Even that is hard in a freedom of speech context though. Even lies are free speech.
The troubling implications of a 'human stock market'
It's infatuating that all arguments pro- and against nuclear energy are so selective. It's very hard to get unbiased view.

The article starts with proper framing. You must think in terms of lifetime capital costs and opportunity cost. Then it chooses numbers selectively to make the argument stronger than it is. Nuclear and renewable energy production can't be compared directly with price per kWh.

Nuclear energy is 24/7 from the start. Currently Nuclear/coal/gas provides base load that enables cheap renewables (base load is the minimum level of demand on an electrical grid over a span of time. Day, week, months)

Supplying same base load with renewables means energy production + large scale energy storage + grid investments. You need overcapacity in production and the grid to even out time and geographical variability of renewables.

I have not seen any honest cost comparison that counts in everything.
Is the interaction without contact was later solved by the field theory? Both Newton and Einstein did not believe in this action in a spooky distance. (Qm one is different .)

Cannot confirm. I bought a windshield for my '01 Ford Focus and found a major security bug on their site [1] (they linked a JS file from a non-existant domain)

I talked to CERT, the clerks at the store, tried to contact the owner on linkedin; heck it was even published in one of the largest newspapers of my country but never got anyone who understood the problem or cared.

In the end the bug was fixed because I wrote them on facebook and the kid who's job it was to manage their facebook site was also the web admin

There are strong protections in the US regarding vulnerability disclosure due to freedom of speech. If you are able to run software that you own which doesn't have any anti-reverse-engineering ToS on your own computers, you are generally in the clear to publish knowledge of flaws that you find while inspecting the software on your computer.

This doesn't mean that you won't get sued, but it does increase your likelihood of winning such lawsuits when you haven't committed any crimes during your security research & disclosure.

You are not required to ever tell the affected parties at all, and afaik you are also free to stockpile and sell exploits as long as you only sell them domestically (IANAL & TINLA).

Is there a stat somewhere showing that IPFS is the most common kind of URL in NFTs?
> There was no unified monetary system for the vast majority of human history, never mind one based on gold and silver.

In case this is an honest misunderstanding:

Pretty much every society in history used gold, silver, or some other rare natural resource. Of course there was never a global such system, but OP didn't mean to say that.

We have been rewriting our stack for multi/many-gpu scale out via python GPU dataframes, but it's clear that smaller workloads and some others would be fine on CPU (and thus free up the GPUs for our other tenants), so having a good CPU impl is exciting, esp if they achieve API compatibility w pandas/dask as RAPIDS and others do. I've been eyeing vauex here (I think the other rust arrow project isn't DF's?), so good to have a contender!

I'd love to see a comparison to RAPIDS dataframes for the single GPU case (ex: 2 GB), single GPU bigger-than-memory (ex: 100 GB), and then the same for multi-GPU. We have started to measure as things like "200 GB/s in-memory and 60 GB / s when bigger than memory", to give perspective.
I don't -- because they never fully went away. I'm typing this on a 9front system right now.
In general you serve the actual assets via IPFS or hyper, or another immutable, decentralized network, and reference its address.
Covid-19: Ireland suspends AstraZeneca vaccine over clotting concerns
It never returns 1, and returns 4 in two cases. This varies from the comment before the function, which I presume documents return values (though at first glance I thought the "name(number)" format was a function call example).
I was part of a project looking at the feasibility of migrating some of the EPA's air pollutant exposure models from Fortran to R/Python. While Fortran was decisively faster, I think the project lead recommended migrating the model to R since not many people used Fortran anymore. It was also harder to share Fortran code for collaboration as well.
From my understanding of NNs and operating systems I don't see any problem with it, but then again I'm not an expert. But Jeff definitely knows what he's talking about.
Ok. How would you apply this approach to ACD? It is not clear to me how to make the mystery “disappear” in this case.
I appreciate you posting your thinking on this. I suspect others share your model. I strongly reject the metaphor of oil and water, that there are different monies. In fact if there was such a thing I wouldn't be as worried. Problems could be contained to specific domains. But as you will see one crisis will beget another and another, and no sector will be spared. One will infect the other. There are no barriers. Investors are not constrained in anyway exchange bonds for stocks in a closed system. They can, and do exchange any items of value (cash, commodities, shares, bonds, ETFs, derivatives) and they can do so in multiple markets. Governments will actually try to prevent this through shuttering markets, capital controls etc but they will be too late to prevent economic harm, to say nothing of long term damage to sentiment. Any measures taken merely delay the problem which will be waiting for them when the markets do re-open.

Economies are very much complex systems, not a steady state systems. At times it behaves like a steady state, but at other times there are significant shifts that break the previous paradigm. You only have to consult any history book of the 20th century to prove this to yourself. I strongly suggest that this a Pascal type wager that you do want to take. You want to assume my argument is correct and hedge against massive inflation. Your livelihood, and possibly your life depends on it.

One way you might convince yourself is if you look at similar situations in economies that were not governed by the Fed. There are many: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperinflation#Notable_hyperin...

I would argue that the Fed, IMF etc actually agree with my position and that is what is driving their desire for new Central Bank Digital Currencies (which IMO are a sham to profit of the public ignorance of actual cryptos and provide a smoke screen while a new global currency is rolled out that will be used to economically control everyone) however I strongly doubt that they will be able implement such a thing before the collapse begins (and it merely delays the inevitable anyway).

Therefore governments (where they can) will default to precious metals to back their currencies. The major winner will be China, as it has the world's largest actual gold reserves (despite the official figures). The US will then be using a gold dollar and China will dictate its price. China now effectively rules the world.
Does most of the money actually go to artists?
I’m not sure it will last, Israel has an extremely tightly regulated banking sector, and major banks already offer a competitive digital platform.

Unlike the EU where digital banks can start in a small market and then expand by using their passporting rights a bank in Israel is constrained to a rather small market.
This article doesn't tell me what I really want to know, which is why a country with enormous FDI and GDP like Israel has gone almost 5 decades with no new banks. Is there a regulatory hurdle? Cultural taboos?
Dependency grammars are just another grammar formalism. They’re an alternative to Chomsky’s specific technical proposals but not to his overall approach.
I was a customer of Simple's for several years and while it didn't pan out and they weren't really a "bank" but lipstick over one, I LOVED the modern touch on what is normally a cumbersome and painful experience.

Kudos to any company that is trying to update the banking system. It could really use it.
As I understand it, swap is used even when the system isn’t under direct memory pressure.

If the kernel sees that some memory is barely, if ever used, it will swap it out preemptively. This gives you more memory available for both programs and temporary caches.

As such it’s still advantageous to add much more swap than this, since it effectively gives you extra free space in RAM at essentially no cost.
> A normal household has to pay rent or make mortgage payments. To arbitrarily exclude the biggest expense to consumers from CPI is pretty misleading.

Housing definitely isn't excluded from CPI calculations. In fact housing is by far the biggest single component of the basket used to calculate inflation.[1]

Moreover, there's really no evidence that long-term housing inflation is running faster than the broader economy. In 2019 the average American consumer spent 25% of their income on housing and 15% on shelter.[2] (Aside, "shelter" just includes the cost of rent, mortgage, property taxes and maitenance. Whereas "housing" includes utilities, appliances, furniture, housekeeping, laundry, etc.) In 1990, the average household spent a virtually identical 27% of income on housing and 15% on shelter.[3] If housing was inflating much faster than the rest of the economy, we'd expect to see increasing shares of income dedicated to housing.

Serving a 'text file' from a web server module seems to overcomplicate things in my view.

More code || complexity == greater likelihood of bugs (including security bugs).

As ironic as a security bug in a security.txt serving module would be, it's probably best we avoid that possibility and let the ordinary, highly scrutinised file serving code handle it instead.
Seems a bit redundant, if the page is being served over HTTPS, which ultimately relies on DNS records.

The advantage of PGP is that it can be verified entirely out-of-band, and distributed widely.

For anyone wondering what HyperLogLog is:

HyperLogLog is an algorithm for the count-distinct problem, approximating the number of distinct elements in a multiset. Calculating the exact cardinality of a multiset requires an amount of memory proportional to the cardinality, which is impractical for very large data sets. Probabilistic cardinality estimators, such as the HyperLogLog algorithm, use significantly less memory than this, at the cost of obtaining only an approximation of the cardinality. The HyperLogLog algorithm is able to estimate cardinalities of > 109 with a typical accuracy (standard error) of 2%, using 1.5 kB of memory.

The Culture Warped Pop, for Good
I interpreted the comment to mean something more like the derivatives market. In the derivatives market, you start getting "weird" stuff like futures contracts, collateralized debt obligations, or credit default swaps. Last two examples are, admittedly, a biased reference to 2008 since those are sort of the poster-boys of that market crash. Futures contracts aren't really that weird, but certainly more weird than just owning stock in a company.

So people might be trading (as in 2008) to "own" some N-th power representation of private debt that ends up going to zero because the underlying private debt itself was not sustainable. It's different from NFT, but for each degree of distance the financial instrument moves away from the real world, it looks increasingly weird, e.g. I own a share of insurance on a fraction of a bucket of debt people took out to buy their homes. (And I still think this is better than NFT unless the NFT has some underlying real-world thing tied to it.)
> So NFTs are valuable because they’re unique-

Just a small correction: they are "valuable" because they are unique AND because people want them. Otherwise they have no value. Scarcity in itself isn't enough to have value, you still have to create hype around the token somehow.

("valuable" in quotes, because it's really not that clear there is any actual value in an NFT that isn't legally binding...)
Yes, they run in the cloud, see e.g. https://cloudrun.co (disclaimer: my side-business), but others have done it as well, for a few years now. On dedicated, shared-memory nodes, it's no different from HPC performance-wise. It can be even better because cloud instances tend to have later generation CPUs, whereas large HPC systems are typically updated every ~5 years or so. But for distributed-memory parallel runs (multi-nodes), latency increases considerably on commodity clouds which kills parallel scaling for models. Fortunately, major providers (AWS, GCP, Azure) have recently started offering low-latency interconnects for some of their VMs, so this problem will soon go away as well.
Downplays inflation risks of governments printing money, but does point out this aspect:

“...many households are deeper in debt now than a year ago. Many more just got by. But the best off just got richer. That’s what QE does.

This bias to the already wealthy within QE was not by chance...”
Memory allocation is fine; dynamic memory allocation is where problems occur.

This is all done over TLS connections, including the link to the encryption key. So the provenance is already at the certificate level. Using PGP means that this provenance can be increased past that level if required.

But do you recompile the tools every time you recompile the kernel? I don't understand the big deal if it's a once a week thing? Or even once a month? Are you changing the compiler/toolchain constantly as you change the kernel? That seems counter productive.
Is there a companion paper somewhere explaining how it works? I tried to read the comments in the source but didn't really understand much. (Might be related to the fact that I never knew much about vanilla HyperLogLog to begin with.)
> gone almost 5 decades with no new banks

Branchless banking seems like a capability enabled only in the last 15 years by widespread internet adoption among customers as well as a transition to a cashless economy in the last 5 years.

Before then I'd imagine the physical startup costs and physical network effects of having hundreds of branches/ATMs, combined with low retail margins would've made it prohibitive for new competition.
You can't A/B test VC funding models or anything else in macroeconomics. By the time you get meaningful results, the ecosystem has already evolved.
That's true, but in my experience vulnerability researchers mostly focus on the online presence/product of internet-active companies (the FAANG:s of the world, and their smaller competitors - companies that could realistically be on HackerOne/BugCrowd without standing out like a sore thumb).

If you've bought some software you install on your computer - like the good old days ( :) ), it's more fair game as you said.
Gold-backed currencies are, similarly, a historical aberration. They only came into being around the 1870s!

States have picked all kinds of units for accounting and tax purposes for literally millennia. Wheat, silver, wool, gold. They adjusted standard weights and measures all the time to manage their debts and the economy. Fiat is the historical norm, going back about five thousand years.

Separately, some governments have made coins out of various things for a little over two thousand years. And separately still, people have traded gold throughout history as a commodity.

But it's just not true that gold and silver were de-facto money somehow until 1971.
True. I do not really feel to have much latitude in what I believe. I only have choice to pretend X or Y.
As their name implies, carbohydrates consist of carbon and water (hydrogen and oxygen), hydrated carbon. Amino acids need at least nitrogen in addition, which in our digestive tract is probably already most abundantly found in amino acids. The microbiome does consume carbohydrates though, mostly those that are inaccessible to our digestive system.

I'm not an expert on this, but my guess is that by mass their most important products for us are short chain fatty acids. They might assist in breaking down some proteins that we lack enzymes for or modifying amino acids, but the absorption of amino acids happens mostly in earlier sections of our intestines, whereas the microbial biomass and activity increases towards the later stages of the gut.
I'm not enough of an expert to say for certain, and I'm not exactly sure what parent comment means when they accuse LineageOS of "destroying" the "Android security model", but from what I've read, concerns about signature spoofing are overblown - provided the user is very selective about what apps they grant spoofing powers to.

It's true that capital begets more capital, but that's because anyone with money lends it back out seeking growth. Even if you have very little money and you put it in a bank account, you are lending that money to the bank for them to invest or lend out. Basically no one is just sitting on piles of physical cash, because if you did so you would lose value behind inflation.

It's probably not relevant in the long term anyway. I expect desktop Nvidia usage on Linux to pretty much plummet while their driver remains a blob. The trend is negative for them already.

So I fully support wlroots developer's approach to it - show Nvidia to the door until they come back with upstreamed driver.
I use OSHPark for prototyping. I don't know where they send the boards, but they hit a reasonable compromise between cheap & fast: $5/sq inch for 3 boards. The quoting is immediate on their website. I usually have boards back in a week after ordering from OSH Park.

For production quantities, I use JLCPcb (China) with Airborne for shipping (so it doesn't take a month to get here). Their quality is very good. Pay the extra $20 and get a stencil to make paste application easy. It's worth it. I think my last order of 50 board roughly 2.5x3.5" with a metal stencil came to about $70 total with an additional $30 for 3-5 day shipping via Airborne.
Yes, but minimally you can create disclosure regulations requiring entities that are lending to disclose the level of leverage they are operating at. Customers can then discriminate when they deposit based on withdrawal risk.
