Arabian Nights has been on my list to produce for SE for a couple of years now, but its sheer size is imposing. I’ll probably do it in the not too distant future though.
1. TSMC were spending ~$30B per year on capital expenditure already.

2. Since leading edge node is forever increasing in cost, the next 3 years, i.e 3nm in 2022 and 2nm in 2024 are expected to be higher. ~$100B investment aligned with their initial plan / trend / target anyway.

3. So really the major news is stopping ( or to be precise, delaying ) price reduction. Which is unusual but understandable given the current demand situation. And No, it is not TSMC's fault. You should ask how every single Fabless Semiconductor company has failed with their demand, supply chain analysis and projection. Although one could argue it is not their fault either, since their client gave wrong projection. The only company that is not affected is possibly Apple.

4. There has been mounting pressure from investors, politicians and MSM media on Intel IDM 2.0, and supply problems. This announcement feels more like addressing those concerns.

5. Remember both Samsung and Intel are expanding capacity. And even GF and many other smaller players. It took DRAM and NAND three years
to catch up with demand ( and then over supply ). Which in hindsight is pretty damn impressive. Although during the ~2016 - 2019 everyone felt awful.

Sounds like what epistasis is describing is a healthy QA environment with rapid feedback.

Some other comments have already pointed out that 15M doses is probably only one or a few batches. Combined with the fact that the procedure documents for this particular line are probably still warm from the laser printer, I'd say let them iterate a bit more to get the kinks out.

[ Procedures are not (should not be) engraved on stone tablets handed down from on high. If you try it that way, you are just as guaranteed to fail as when you had no procedures at all. ]

As to what went wrong at this facility (besides overpromising?); we'll have to see. I wish there was such a thing as open source procedures!
It does not matter for my point. Even if our NNs miss some part of neuron function, it would look comparable to a simple if/a multiplication on the smallest level. My point is that the complexity/intelligence comes from size; just because our algorithms adapt minimally or accept pre-defined scenarios, does not mean that they are fundamentally unintelligent because we're able to fully understand them.

Spotted a mathematician. ;-)

> theories can be valuable in themselves

Maybe they can be (in pure mathematics, or philosophy, as the sibling comment points out), but not if your end-goal is to apply your theory or its predictions in the real world. Then suddenly the soundest and most coherent of theories can fall apart.

> There is value in approaching problems analytically rather than resorting to empirical methods.

Sure, but whether your arrive at your predictions analytically or empirically it does not preclude you from testing them experimentally.

The fallacy of the slippery slope is not a fallacy because the slope can't ever come to fruition. It's a fallacy because the scary scenario is always a possibility even if the status quo remains. The slippery slope is a fallacy because the fear mongering it uses can be applied to every situation.

The essence of the argument I responded to was:

I don't want government run healthcare for everyone because some scary scenario might possibly come to fruition. Therefore it's OK that millions don't have adequate access to healthcare.

The reasoning is sloppy and this fact has nothing to do with politics.

I don't think you and GP are in disagreement. The scientific method to let greater insights replace lesser ones is precisely to try and fail at falsifying observations that violate known physical laws.

No physical law is holy for this purpose, although scientists will necessarily have heuristics for what presumed observations they consider good enough to examine closer. Evidently, the EmDrive observations made the threshold! And now we know for sure. Well, close enough, anyway.
What if you explicitly ask for the user's consent? E.g. a confirmation prompt saying "To unlock this content we will use your CPU to mine.".

I know Coinhive originally started like that, for this Polish imageboard where you explicitly had to allow your CPU to mine in order to get premium account time, as an alternative way to just paying for it outright.

It makes sense for China to overinvest in national chip manufactoring due to sanctions. However for the west, of which Taiwan here is a part of, it is very risky. If the west no longer supplies China's chip market, it would need significant less chip manufactoring capacity.

Where Perl overdid on hackery, Python may have overdone on sugar

Haven't used Perl often, but that's sort of my impression as well. And that Python sugar feels mostly pretty well reasoned about. And fairly usable and readable as well. Whereas in Perl I sometimes had the impression a bunch of people with CS degrees made something they thought out while on LSD and just decided to add it. Cool at the moment, but not too usable by sober minds afterwards.

> How can r not be nil, when it contains a nil value?

In the same way a slice can contain one or more nil values without itself _being_ nil. A gift box containing nothing is not itself nothing.

> And the reason is hopefully apparent from the previous two lines: It depends on the type of "nil".It depends on the type of "nil".

Well, no. "r == nil" tests whether r itself is nil (i.e. the zero value of that interface type) which it is not. It contains b and is thus no longer nil. The type doesn't play a (large) role here. This misconception might be due to the fact that lots of types can be nil: slices, maps, channels, functions and (unfortunately) interfaces.

Nobody is astonished that a slice containing any sort of nils is not nil itself; that a buffered channel containing nils is not nil itself and that the constant function `func()*int { return nil }` is not nil itself either. Only for interfaces this poses a problem. If interfaces wouldn't be "nil" but lets say "zilch" than it would be evident that r != zilch.
The question should be more why would there have to be such large batches which can be SPOF for so many doses. Wouldn't it make more sense to make smaller seperate batches to derisk the process.

This is akin to me using a large 64 core server for an app, instead of say 4x16 . Sure, the larger server can easily handle the load, however the 4x16 setup is more redundant and avoids many scenarios where all users will be out of service

Just because there are high capacity machines capable of doing that much does not mean it should be used especially a
With a new process trying to scale up
DOCSIS 3 maxes out at 1000/200, so if they would just provide that instead of trying to claim a 5Mbps upload is "broadband".

Cable is a perfectly viable technology, with DOCSIS 3.1 and 4, for at least another decade, probably more. Their own lack of infrastructure investment is coming to bite them in the ass, fast.

For clarification: I work for an ISP/telco that manages legacy copper POTS/xDSL, cable, fiber and cellular networks. While we are actively expanding fiber from the backbone out and doing a lot of FTTH by now, cable is still a solid workhorse, but it takes an operator who actually cares about maintaining the infrastructure.
Surface UI – A server-side rendering component library for Phoenix
True, it's an emotional plea that has little value in terms of rational decision making. As for the "Crypto-religious right", I think the term you're looking for is "Crypto Evangelism".

The environmental cost of this - globally decentralized - system is to put it bluntly... negligible. That doesn't matter though, as long as people can be convinced into thinking it's a major issue.

What also doesn't matter is: anyone's opinion. Hegemonic systems will do whatever they need to do to maintain power, and that includes the possibility of banning crypto - even if everyone absolutely loves it.

The only thing Crypto Evangelists should be doing is building the tech and making it ban-proof. Let the nay-sayers bemoan the loss of their crumbling infrastructure, they'll still need a way to function in the modern world.

"BuH GloBaL WaRmInG" - as if any of these people actually give a shit about the environmental impact of industry as they write their AWS Lambdas, get the newest iPhone, order plastic wrapped take out, and buy a new car to make their commutes to the office "nicer". Even if Bitcoin was considered greener than fiat (and it should be, since it's essentially an improvement in EFFICIENCY and therefore LESS WORK to operate), they'd still hate it for one reason or another.

But again, the poorly thought out narratives don't matter. What matters is the conflict between alternative tech and hegemonic tech.
Install tmux or screen, use mosh instead of SSH, and login with a ssh key.

The time waste will be paid off by giving yourself a cross-networks, cross-client, always ready, instant on, saved state, scriptable replica of what you're doing on your computer by arranging windows.

I can mosh to my VPS and have tabs and windows and panels left running as I left them. The connection doesn't fall if I change WiFi hotspots or switch to my mobile hotspot. This works on my laptop, desktop, phone, raspberry, whatever the client.

Thanks in advance for trying it out. If you stay using it or not, do create issues on GitHub for missing features or things which could be improved, otherwise I just won't know what people need/want.

I can understand your concerns around resource usage. Extraterm doesn't follow a minimalist philosophy, more of a swiss army chainsaw one. But as an application it still needs to make you think "what I'm getting out of this is worth the resources". Features and new features you can't find else where, plus becoming a platform for plugins and deeper integration with other software is the broad idea here.

To me, after reading the article, it seems like Google saw all these offices they have and realized all the money would go to waste if people don’t use them.

And then there’s the middle manager aspect.

Google made these offices with the idea to make people feel like the office is “home”. Snacks, food, bring your dog, etc all screams “why go home when you have everything here?”

The cynic in me believes that is exactly their aim, to keep people at the office longer and middle manage.

That said, I do believe that a lot of people have a hard time not working in an office. These people should still have the choice, though, and these offices should not feel like home. Because it isn’t.

But this is still something that many companies will take advantage of; it simply costs less to not rent an office. Yes, they should also pay for part of the rent and internet bills for the employee, but it would still cost less than renting a huge building. Especially in Silicon Valley.

Not a stupid question -- sorry for the jargon.

It is what is mentioned in this fragment of the article:

"When power flows into the EmDrive, the engine warms up. This also causes the fastening elements on the scale to warp, causing the scale to move to a new zero point"

Basically, thermal expansion of the thruster and the measurement device causes the rest position of the thrust balance to drift with time, which is hard to differentiate from the actual thrust generated. This is most critical when the thrust-to-weight ratio is low, as is the case here.
