They keyword is "unregulated", not "capitalism"

The fact is that it costs them less to destroy the goods instead of putting them back in the system or giving them away. No regulations = the only thing that matters is $

Idk about the rest of the world but France banned bleaching of supermarket trashes in 2016, at the time it was an "extreme and ground breaking" law, now they're legally forced to give them to charities (another example of regulation)
As someone who’d be paying rather than receiving these benefits, I’d much rather there be a smooth curve that scales down benefits aligned with income, but anything that creates a sharp distinctive to be productive offends me a lot more than spending a few extra hundred dollars per net tax payer.

That's the title says, but we see similar initiatives in EU as well, and it would basically mean that the employee can choose that he wants to work only 4 days. Of course, even now anyone can also have 4 days workweek, if employer agrees to it. But in this case it is something mandatory.

Where and How to Hire a Hacker ( Read Before You Hire Anyone to Hack for You)
I decided to share my experience about hiring a hacker , kindly share you may be helping someone out there , so few weeks ago after searching the darkweb for hackers i found out that a hacking group called anonymous existed and they have existed for a while but they change domain names so as to stay anonymous and you have to pay attention on the darkweb in other to find the current domain name if you want to hire them to hack for you . their current domain name is https://www.anonymous-hacking-group.com , i recently hired them to help me hack an iphone , this was meant to be a test so the number i provided the hacker was my own number because i wanted to be sure that they are the real deal , they do not require any upfront payment until they have provided you with proof of a completed hack , so i waited for them to provide proof this whole time i had the iphone i wanted them to hack right beside me i noticed the phone screen becoming bright few times like there was a notification but i didn't see any , although it took roughly 6 hours i got an email informing me that the hack has been completed , obviously i had doubts so i asked for proof and they gave me a link to a spyware server and login details the login details was the phone number of the iphone i wanted to hack and a passcode , when i logged in , to my surprise it was real it was like a control panel to control my phone , i could tell it was my phone from the caller id and the number ,plus the gps coordinate was right on my roof , lol , i had to pay them for the service to get the activation code that synchronizes the server completely with the spyware they put in my phone , which i did and they gave me the activation code and crazy thing was that the code consisted of my iphone's passcode and few letters and numbers . i never imagined this type of hack was even possible , has anyone tried to hire a hacker from https://www.anonymous-hacking-group.com share your experience .
If it wasn't for network and ecosystem effects, I'd agree with you. But much like I can't simply not visit websites with Facebook's or Google's trackers, without cutting myself off from a huge chunk of the modern world, allowing locked-down devices to take up a larger and larger chunk of consumer computers has effects beyond the initial purchase.
I took a picture of myself using my videoconferencing camera, then set it up as my meeting background. The effect is hilarious when people see you, then see you again moving into the frame :)

Smooth Step Integral
I recommend starting with the shader stuff, and when you really feel the need picking up a linear algebra textbook, preferably one that has "linear transformations" earlier in the ToC than "matrix multiplication" (or 3Blue1Brown's videos come very recommended by some)
That's an argument for "progressive" support, and against the threshold effect, not for basic income.

There should be no hard threshold, social support should be linear, and be reduced with the more money you earn.
Like taxes but in reverse.
Say your employer makes 20k a week of the produce of your work. This means you having a single, unpaid week off will directly cost your employer 20k. Even if you would willingly take a (from your perspective) pretty hefty pay cut of 4k for that week off, the employer would still be down 16k compared to before.

This is the weird and intuitively wrong stuff that happens, when employers make more through their employees work than their employees do, even after factoring in their salary.

What is amazing about this is that it is a super simple game of "what if?". What if our current supply of chips are disrupted? It would mean production halts, there is a non negligible risk and we cannot source new chips in less than 6 months, so stockpile that to keep uninterrupted service. That conclusion probably take quite a while to get to, but the kick off question is really simple.
They do get given the same amount, they just get different amounts taken back depending on how much they earned.

And where did the word "drive" come from? I thought it referred to motors that spin the media, which SSDs also do not have.
Very nice practical feature: "Existing JPEG data can be represented as-is in JPEG XL: no lossy transcoding!" If you need ever to convert huge amount of archieved jpeg, you can config the conversion not to lose anything.

> That's not how it works, you have to reproduce it before it becomes trusted.

Eh, there's stuff you can do with software before you trust it. Eg you can start pressing the CDs or distributing the data to your servers. Just don't execute it, yet.

> Sure, then we have to build a complex consensus system that introduces a bunch of unsolved problems. My opinion is that this just isn't worth it, there is practically nothing to gain and it's really really hard.

It's the same informal system that keeps eg debian or the Linux kernel secure currently:

People don't do kernel reviews themselves. They just use the official kernel, and when someone finds a bug (or spots otherwise bad code), they notify the community.

Similar with reproducible builds: most normal people will just use the builds from their distro's server, but independent people can do 'reviews' by running builds.

If ever a build doesn't reproduce, that'll be a loud failure. People will complain and investigate.

Reproducible builds in this scenario don't protect you from untrusted code upfront, but they make sure you'll know when you have been attacked.
But then someone surely has the genius idea to offer this as a cloud solution for free. Then we have ads such that suddenly I have a sister called Coca Cola. Or it is maliciously implemented freemium, for example someone spent hours entering their family and printing is only possible for a fee.

Perhaps my wife is lucky and there is solid non-cloud desktop software which she groks. Then she is proud to have a family tree which she grew herself.
At the minimum, I'd want to be aware that the firmware is not what the manufacturer had intended to provide me. Perhaps it's not the NSA after me, but some other actor or competitor or ransomware agency.
Aside from the obviously gorgeous app, the colorpicker is quite interesting. This is not our standard HSV color picker. Can you tell what color model it is based on?
I agree with this, and I think for this reason it is best if a new codec gets wide adoption also outside browsers, instead of having the approach of a "web codec" where it suffices that servers and browsers know about it but the wider ecosystem doesn't support it.

WebP in particular, as the name suggests, was conceived as an "image format for the web" and while I think it's good to have the web in mind when designing an image codec, I think it's a bad idea to limit the scope like that. Design decisions like limiting the maximum dimensions and bit depth at the codec level "because that's all the web needs" plus limited attention/focus to adoption outside browsers does lead to the phenomenon you describe where "it doesn't work for everyone", causing the small gain of improved compression to be dwarfed by the huge inconvenience of breaking workflows.

Any new codec of course has this problem even if they do target wide adoption (like JPEG XL): adoption is never instantaneous. It is a fact that the release cycle of browsers is more suitable for innovation than that of most other software, so it does make sense to start there even when it will still cause things to break in software that doesn't support it yet.

To mitigate that, I think it would help a lot of browsers would have a "Save As..." dialog box on images that gives users the choice to save the actual image in whatever format it is in, or to convert it to PNG or JPEG.
exp(x) = exp(x.real()) * sincos(x.imag())

Anyway, it is the same algorithm as long as `x` is real.
The reason for manually inlining exp(::Complex) and manually decomposing the complex number into its real and imaginary parts is that `@tturbo` currently only supports real inputs.

Given types that it does not support, it will silently run the original loop single-threaded and optimized simply with `@inbounds @fastmath`.
I imagine in changing to cis or exp, you also switched to using complex numbers? If so, that would explain the dramatic slowdown.

If not, mind sharing your example, here or in an issue at LoopVectorization.jl?

It's planned that "some day" LoopVectorization will support complex numbers through the AbstractInterpreter interface, but this is probably still a ways off.

Trying to revive the seemingly lost art of value stream mapping
IT exists to serve the needs of the business; it is the role of technology leaders such as Architects to cultivate deep ties and understanding with both the business and the businesses needs. A decade ago, value stream mapping was at the heart of what we did and why we are doing it. Today, I’m often speaking with people, reading articles, watching conferences, querying, “but, what is the business value?” often than not, the answer is hugely disappointing. In today’s issue of the Cloudverse, we will be trying to revive the seemingly lost art of value stream mapping.
This is something I find many UBI opponents do not understand. And you explain it very well. Thanks.
Is it just me or do all the comparisons linked from the page show that webp actually looks better?

Still, the JPEG recompression feature might be what helps adoption.
So it's like a code review, but for lines on the road.

// And then we carved out an exception and made it so our places where we work are run as oppressive dictatorships...

That's just a bunch of random words you're saying. Reality: we're building a company so we can create wealth and support our families and achieve something. We have a plan for doing it. If you're not following the plan and just sabotaging everything, you're doing exactly that - sabotaging.

This is different than saying "hey, I don't agree, let's discuss and challenge the plat" - that's great and admirable and you should do that (and I suspect you don't actually do that in your workplace). But to silently read the strategy and then say "ah fuck'it doesn't apply to me" is a huge fuck you to your colleagues. You have chosen to accept the job and the mission, do the job.
-t6 would give 6 threads. FWIW, the Ryzen 2600 with 6 threads took 6 ms, so the 3600's floating point and vector improvement is quite evident from your timing. (The 2600 emulates 256-bit operations with 2x 128-bit, while the 3600 has full support.)

> Slack is not for asynchronous communication.

Depends on the organisation.

Where I'm currently working, we use Discord. Discord is similar to Slack.

It is explicitly for asynchronous communication. We are supposed to not expect immediate replies to questions and comments on Discord, especially as other teammates are in different timezones. Sometimes there's real time chat, but it depends who is on at the time.

I posted some comments yesterday. There was one reply within a few hours, and two more this morning.

Email is pretty much deprecated. Nobody uses it, except to set up calendar entries for meetings, and formal things like HR and invoices.

Sure, if you don't need images, then that's fine and you obviously don't need a new codec. There is a significant chunk of the web though that does make significant use of images.
Naah, doesn't seem worth it, just for the sake of this discussion. ;-)

Sorry, must have missed the meaning of the "even", so the more charitable reading didn't occur to me.
Functionally they're equivalent. In a UBI/negative-income-tax schenariom things like food stamps also shouldn't be cut off at a simple threshold, but instead factored in at your marginal rate. If your marginal rate is always your marginal rate, then it's always beneficial to take a higher-paying job.

The problem with means testing is that it effectively raises the marginal rate, often to astronomical percentages. For example, the withdrawal of a $1000 benefit because of an additional $1 that pushes you over a means testing threshold means your marginal tax rate on that dollar is 100,000%. Of course the rational thing to do is to not earn that dollar, or indeed any of the next $1250 that it would take to get you back to where you started (assuming a normal marginal rate of 20%).
Tangential question: in order to become educated/expert in some field (e.g. IT) one needs the freedom of doing research, free access to information, Internet, thus exposure to "western"/civilized values, human rights, etc... So how NK "produces" such experts behind the iron curtain?

> It is a fact that the release cycle of browsers is more suitable for innovation than that of most other software,

Also there is a huge financial incentive for large web hosting companies (e.g. Google, Facebook) to adopt compression formats that save bandwidth, using automated tools to apply those wherever possible.

People making e.g. image archives or building image capture hardware are going to be slower. They don’t want to use new untested technologies that might not succeed, and they don’t want to switch more frequently than necessary. When they do transition it will be by applying new technologies to new images but not immediately transforming older images to use the new technology.

> the great multiple dispatch logic

Curiously, as much as I love the Julia language, I cannot stand multiple dispatch. I find it extremely confusing, ugly, and downright disturbing. Why would you ever want two different functions with the same name? And if this is good, why stop here? Why not two different variables with the same name but different types? Depending on the context where they are used, the language could pick one or the other.

I'm actually pretty impressed with how responsive the UI is: it's as responsive a Apple Maps (unlike Google Maps which is sluggish on an iPhone 11 Pro).

The colour pallette is an odd choice I'll say, but that's an opinionated thing.

It does have biking directions, which Apple Maps is missing in most cities (even in cities where there's more bikes than inhabitants like Amsterdam). So I'll definitely be keeping it around!
