The trackers I’ve used are all different and a ratio on one site might be good to “vouch” for me, but the numbers are meaningless across sites and I don’t think one site would prosper mixing their ratio calculations with another.

I like your idea though and think that tracker ratios are a good example of something that meets the need that lots of coins are trying to accomplish.

IPC is going up but slowly compared to previous generations. If AMD can sustain the kind of generation on generation increases it achieved between Zen 2 and 3 I will be tremendously impressed, but as it stands my brand new 5600X has barely 50% more single-core performance than the seven year old 4670K I replaced.

"e.Benchmark Testing. You may not disclose the results of any benchmark test of either the Server Software or Client Software to any third party without Microsoft’s prior written approval."

Hasty addition: I doubt random benchmarks would be threatened with legal action -- but the key is you are technically breaking your license agreement by posting a benchmark. I'm sure the likelihood of whatever DB company pursuing action depends on both the company, who you are, and in what avenue you posted your benchmark.

If you're well known, have a large audience, and publish a bad benchmark of Oracle DB, I would be very surprised if Oracle didn't contact you directly and demand some action.

No it isn't. There isn't even a way to write down the types properly in Vue templates.

"supports" is a scale, and the support isn't nearly as good as React/TSX.

There's a few decades worth of work on program synthesis and it works very well. You don't need AGI.

You need either a) a complete specification of the target program in a formal language (other than the target language) or b) an incomplete specification in the form of positive and negative examples of the inputs and outputs of the target program, and maybe some form of extra inductive bias to direct the search for a correct program [edit: the latter setting is more often known as program induction].

In the last few years the biggest, splashiest result in program synthesis was the work behind FlashFill, from Gulwani et al: one-shot program learning, and that's one shot, from a single example, not with a model pretrained on millions of examples. It works with lots of hand-crafted DSLs that try to capture the most common use-cases, a kind of programming common sense that, e.g. tells the synthesiser that if the input is "Mr. John Smith" and the output is "Mr" then if the input is "Ms Jane Brown" the output should be "Ms". It works really, really well but you didn't hear about it because it's not deep learning and so it's not as overhyped.

Copilot tries to circumvent the need for "programming common sense" by combining the spectacular ability of neural nets to interpolate between their training data with billions of examples of code snippets, in order to overcome their also spectacular inability to extrapolate. Can language models learned with neural nets replace the work of hand-crafting DSLs with the work of collecting and labelling petabytes of data? We'll have to wait and see. There are also many approaches that don't rely on hand-crafted DSLs, and also work really, really well (true one-shot learning of recursive programs without an example of the base case and the synthesis terminates) but those generally only work for uncommon programming languages like Prolog or Haskell, so they're not finding their way to your IDE, or your spreadsheet app, any time soon.

But, no, AGI is not needed for program synthesis. What's really needed I think is more visibility of program synthesis research so programmers like yourself don't think it's such an insurmountable problem that it can only be solved by magickal AGI.

Intel 10mm is approximately like TSMC 7mm (different measurements but similar transistor density). So I'd say 1.5 nodes behind? AMD and TSMC used to be behind like that, and eventually they caught up. Intel has the resources, and given shortages, they have a bit of time too.

Indeed, it is not all bad at all. Ecosystems are so well integrated that as a consumer it really makes sense to just pick one and try to stay within the realm of what works out of the box. While advanced users are able to "mix and match" and get deeper into how certain tools work or how to replace them, that's not a task for the usual consumer.
What Made Early Humans Smart
I'd say a large part of BitTorrent's success was the mix of capitalism and communism.

To maximise your speed you had to share, a mini stock-market on each torrent. Then you were encouraged to continue to share after completion.

From memory all the fancy algorithms for sharing didn't really do much and it was just push it out and pull it in as fast as you can that really worked in practice.

It was also interesting Bram opposed encryption on the protocol.

The global torrent library certainly seems bigger than ever. The biggest issue is upgrading existing media to better resolutions.
I read an interview somewhere few years back that the original BitTorrent was written in Python using an editor called NEdit.

This reads like an episode from a Shawshank Redemption TV series.

I can get how a place can become home when you feel like your links to other places fade, but a hint that it might be more healthy to move around is that you you're sticking to the "recognizable." It seems like you would always be living in some place from the past (which is an illusion because it never really was what you believed it was and it was always changing) which you feel nostalgic for. At the same time, you're building a new place at your other home. Once the romance with the first place becomes destroyed, then the back-up comes forward. I would bet the back-up could have an even greater hold over you if it's a highly controlled (slower changing) environment such as a military base or a prison.

I'm not an expert, but from what I have been reading these "node names" have been pretty much decoupled from actual trace dimensions for a few years already. So I wouldn't be surprised to find out that most of the structures are in fact bigger than 3nm.

To quote Wikipedia (on the 5nm process!):

The term "5 nanometer" has no relation to any actual physical feature (such as gate length, metal pitch or gate pitch) of the transistors. It is a commercial or marketing term used by the chip fabrication industry to refer to a new, improved generation of silicon semiconductor chips in terms of increased transistor density, increased speed and reduced power consumption.

Love this. And it's how I feel about most things which aren't directly relevant to the items on my todo list in a given day. I care if my house was flooding, I care about tickets being posted to some queue that I'm being paid to watch and I care about anything which is generally conspiring to get me to make a reaction or even just move a finger to show I'm still alive. Outside of these things, my life is about keeping the list of things I care about as small as possible. Nothing about politics makes that list.

Well, the fact that you're "just using javascript" in jsx does also mean that you need to format things nicely to avoid having an unreadable mess. Using a code formatter like Prettier helps a lot. The "react blob" is less of a blob if nicely indented.

Admittedly due to the nature of Vue syntax, it's harder to make a mess because everything is just key/value.. but then you have to learn an API to express things in that way. I enjoy the fact that you don't have that layer/step with react.

I definitely feel that the 3rd party classnames package should be built into React, I agree that out of the box conditional class names look a mess.

I don't have enough experience with either library yet to form an opinion on which I prefer, but I definitely appreciate not having the mental overhead of remembering the vue api. I'd rather have a bit of code that's more explicit/"just javascript" than have to think "what's that symbol I need to use again?". Definitely a personal preference thing though!

Book of numbers by Joshua Cohen – review (2015)
This direction feels too natural to me: there's so much motivation for a corporation to control the consumer that I don't see how any individual solution will enact change as a steeply uphill battle. The whole situation is almost like climate change, where the corporations responsible are too big and too misaligned to change.

If it's not too late to radically alter our economic system to combat climate change (which I certainly hope it isn't) I think we can fix tech by almost extension.
That pessimistic / optimistic view seems like a realistic, yet hopeful view of the country--still not satire:

Optimistic / hopeful view: somehow Afghanistan will stabilize enough that people will be able to travel there as tourists.
Also to note : The fossil project contains a makeheaders.c file that can be compiled as an executable.

You are dismissing exactly the strategic move that's within reach.

Windows basically does not exist for home users except a few Western countries, and even there it's just due to inertia.

Same with macOS... Regular folk have no reason to buy macOS. It's pure class signaling at this point.

Of course, there are business tools on each of these OSes, but if you make money with Adobe tools might as well buy the Pro OS.

If the software used a one-way protocol, then unless you updated the closed-source agents, which are the parts I have the biggest issue with, there wouldn't be RCE.

As for remote management. I'm saying you should wisely choose what needs to be remotely managed, what doesn't, what are the foundations for your security and then balance it with reasonable methods to secure access. Which would probably not be "Kaseya VSA Remote Monitoring and Management" for all your systems and devices.

Yes, make sure you don't need on-site personnel to restart your web server, but maybe also don't expose management of your switch that you never reconfigure to your monitoring SW, and maybe use separate HSMs¹ or at least HSMs instead of the enterprise management system for the most important parts.

> Only now that insurance companies have paid out the nose with ransomware incidents have they started to wise up.

Exactly right, and eventually they will GET A CLUE, and require serious security audits to get a sane price on incident insurance. Otherwise they will make you pay gobs and gobs of money, and it will just be cheaper to be sane about your security posture.

Otherwise there is zero incentive for the insurance companies to keep paying out the nose on policies they aren't making money from.

This has happened to police stations, as they get mismanaged by idiot police chiefs, the insurance providers say.. uh we aren't going to insure you anymore unless you fix your sh*t. As but one example: https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/06/insuran...

I see this happening to cyper security policies also, they(insurance companies) will wise up or go broke.

Can't help but feeling it's a bit of a diversion to make everyone forget the just announced delays of their 10nm server chips.

The original source, Nikkei, points to their own sources that claim that both Apple and Intel are currently doing early testing on 3nm. The article doesn't imply they are the only ones and according to Daniel Nenni, AMD did get the PDK too.

Then it's about who's ready first and who bought the most allocation. Rumours points to Intel buying a lot of it, although when that allocation comes is a bit unclear. Nobody should expect anyone but Apple to have first dib at anything at TSMC.

Plus it is Intel's first use of a bleeding edge PDK from TSMC, which is dramatically different from the older nodes they used so far (EUV and all). But it's been a long coming commitment (pre Gelsinger) from them to outsource their high perf DT and server chips for this node.

Their volume needs for this are high (not quite iPhone high, but still far above non-Apple customers) and it will be interesting to see what, and how soon they can launch in 2023.

I would probably expect Intel's lineup, especially the articulation around their so called HEDT (High End Desktop) segment to be shaken up a bit.

So would their margins.
