> Dumb question: since memory bandwidth is clearly a bottleneck in many server workloads, why don't chip manufacturers make CPUs with 20 memory channels instead of just 6-10, as in current CPUs?

It gets difficult to fit it all and make it work. An 8-channel DDR4 memory controller already has 512 pins just for data bits, and that's before you deal with all of the necessary grounding pins and all of the other signal lines required to interface with memory chips.

There are rumors that AMD's next generation server CPUs will support 12-channel DDR5. The expanded memory channels and other features require a socket with 6096 pins. That's a lot of interfaces to squeeze through a socket.

A hypothetical 20-channel CPU would also require you to install RAM in multiples of 20 sticks to populate every channel.

You can theoretically get 16 channels of memory bandwidth in a single, dual-socket system if each socket has an 8-channel memory controller. Dual-socket AMD systems have a theoretical upper limit memory bandwidth around 300GB (big B) per second.

In reality, not as many applications are constrained my memory bandwidth as you might expect. CPU vendors are adding additional cache to work around the memory issue somewhat. As long as the application isn't constantly streaming bytes into and out of memory (as in the CDN example), it will eventually have to stop to work on the data, allowing the CPU a chance to cache some additional data from main memory and hide the memory bandwidth bottleneck somewhat.
If that was the point, what's the point of stating that point?

It would be ironic if Rust ended up killing C and not C++, being adopted into the kernel.
True, and in some cases it would be best to remove many of the full-grown trees. However, often times people would rather the large trees remain and just the combustible brush and debris removed (i.e. the organic material that would be removed by a prescribed burn done in ideal conditions). In this case you have plant matter that few people would object to being gone, but it doesn't have enough economic value to be profitable to remove without artificial incentives.
Bitmex products are not ordinary options in that there is no physical deliver of the underlying. They're a cash settled side bet (in the case of bitmex the cash in Bitcoin, but that doesn't at all change it from being cash settled) where the house is the counterparty (even if there is an offsetting trader, it's the houses "insurance fund" that provides for the likelihood of delivery).

It's not reasonable to compare the service to a US retail stock brokerage. You could compare it to the sort of CFD platforms that are popular in the UK, but those services (at least as retail offerings) are unlawful in the US in part because they're very far towards gambling on the gambling/investment spectrum.

Besides, I wasn't complaining that bitmex is a casino. I'm pointing out that the specific casino-ness of their operations (that it's purely bitcoin in and out) undermines the argument that they were providing banking or exchange services to criminals.
Does that matter if they just burn?
> Futures have substantial utility for anyone who needs to hedge the underlying commodities.

1. CME has futures for much more than just commodities. They have futures for S&P 500, interest rates, and cryptocurrencies (lol)

2. The daily volume for corn futures is 350,000 contracts[1]. Each contract corresponds to 5,000 bushels, which means 1.75 billion bushels worth of corn are being traded daily. On the other hand the US only produces 14.18 billion bushels yearly, and the world only produces 44.64 billion bushels[2]. Given the large disparity between trade volumes and actual production, I doubt most of the trading activity are from people "who needs to hedge the underlying commodities".

It's surprising to me how many people in these comments are trying to gatekeep art, as if art must only be the life's work of famous masters. Museums are full of crude drawings, sculptures, tools created by people who didn't consider themselves artists. Art reflects the social mores of its time and we can also take interest in art to simply get a glimpse into the past.

Plus no one in their right mind would have compared the Pieta to a local bard with a talent for singing and dancing getting paid to entertain people. Just a lot of backward comparisons all because people have in their mind a single definition of what "art" is and should be.

Santa Cruz mountains burned last year and it could have been less devastating to f there were more thinning allowed. Thinning != clearcutting. Often there are interests besides the environment that come into play. People live in these forests. Trees prevent landslides. It’s complicated.
I just checked if my router's admin was open to public access by connecting with my public IP. It connected! Oh no! That's embarrassing, I thought. Turns out it was just NAT hairpinning. I can't connect from my mobile network.
1. Yes, that's true. However i'm not sure I see clearly the distinction you're trying to draw here. You could build a neural network that can ask clarifying questions too. You can certainly define an ML model that recognizes one right answer as well: just pick the answer that has highest probability in your softmax output.

2. Well, there are a lot of ways to do this in principle, but word vectors in their original form are themselves latent attributes. All modern NLP is based on this concept already. Let's look at the 'suitcase' example in the article:

> The trophy did not fit in the suitcase because it was too
> 1a. small
> 1b. big

In NLP this problem is generally called "coreference resolution". That is, resolving which prior object a given pronoun is referring to. The ambiguity of this problem is indeed very subtle, and probably quite hard for an ML algorithm to learn. You can look at a parse example here:

https://huggingface.co/coref/

This is a near state of the art coreference resolution model, and it indeed fails to properly resolve here. Although you do see that the probabilities do actually shift towards the right answer, which is (very weakly) suggestive that it might be beginning to learn it.

So, trying to unpack what's going on here linguistically, the essence of the problem is that the relation between "it" and "trophy" vs "suitcase" is contextually contingent. The necessary context is that trophies go inside of suitcases, and not vice versa. You then need to understand how the concept of insertion relates to sizes. Putting thing A inside of thing B requires that thing B be larger than thing A. This is certainly a subtle, context-rich problem.

In order to try to solve this problem, a model would need to have a more structural understanding of language. You indeed cannot learn this problem based on simple word frequency counting, for exactly the reasons they state. However, even though the frequencies of big/small may be equal, there are more nuanced conditional probabilities that are not. Conditional on the latent concept of insertion, the pattern relating object size to coreference should be very statistically apparent.

> Tether just froze a bunch of funds. Like a bank. Or PayPal. One of the most repeated slams against TradFi is the “PayPal locked my funds! Money belongs to the people!

Tether is one of many assets on Ethereum, each with their own properties. Some are centralized, some are decentralized, some are stable, some aren't, etc. It's about choice at the end of the day, and crypto actually gives you this choice vs paypal or your bank.

Truly incredible how a scholarly article on anti-Semitic actions in the '70s by Moscow University has brought out legions of anti-Semitic trolls suggesting that the Jews must have deserved it, and covering anti-Semitism by claiming it was simply anti-Zionist (as if Soviet university staff discriminating against Soviet Jews somehow punished Israel).

Yesterday a friend posted a funny post about corona virus and getting her vaccine, she said something like, “I imagine I shoved much worse things in my body, it wasn’t so bad after all.” With a funny accompanying photo.

She is in Australia where there is a pretty big campaign underway to improve the image of vaccines with younger people.

Anyways, it was mostly unreadable because Instagram had put a massive warning from the WHO about how important vaccines are.

I understand the intention was positive but it was also kind of ironic because it was a pro-vaccine post, it was also a bit of fun.

The fun and good will was stolen.

In a friendly Poker game, everyone comes in with some amount of money, and by the end of the night the money changes hands. Some are winners, some are losers. That's a zero-sum game.

When you go to a casino to play Poker, as condition to play you must pay chips every hand called a "rake". When you and everyone else walks out of the casino while there may still be winners there will likely be more losers, and the total is negative. The casino has some of your money. That's a negative sum game.

With mining bitcoin is equivalent to the casino scenario. Except instead of the casino keeping the money as profit, it's using that money to buy energy. Then you add onto that the exchanges taking a fee on top of that.
The issue is that a lot of transit planning is politically motivated and done to maximize "coverage" rather than more meaningful metrics like ridership, usefulness, and profitability.

Planning for coverage allows you to tell individual taxpayers that they're "served" by the transit they help fund, but most will never use it because it's infrequent and the routes take forever to get anywhere. Optimizing for ridership means you focus on a smaller number of straight-line routes that are highly useful and run them at high frequency so that a smaller pool of people come to rely on them and use them regularly, instead of as a last resort.

Eh, Don’t be so presumptuous. Me needing to feel clever has nothing to do with it.

My thought process is that a hacker is likely to run a dictionary attack before resorting to a brute-force method. Therefore (all else being equal) a password consisting of nonrelated characters is safer than a string of actual words. That said, I also understand that more bits in a password makes for a stronger password, so any “reduced” phrase needs to be sufficiently long.

Any flaw in my approach is more out of a naive understanding of how cryptography and hackers may actually work.

> The fire department obviously will have committed manslaughter.

This isn't obvious, and it's not the only way to set up policy here. If you have an area with enormous built-up fuel, you could choose to treat it as something that is going to burn at some point instead of trying to set up incentives so that no one sets it off.

I recall growing up in Santa Cruz mountains and when a neighbor had a tree fall and crash through half his house during a storm with his whole family there that night… afterwards he removed a few of the other dead trees around his house that could potentially fall on the house as well - cut down… many in the neighborhood flew black flags on the mailboxes and protested him having the dead trees removed… I always loved the nature living there and at time being young it felt like he was the evil rain forest tree cutter … now in my 40s I look back and would have done the same thing as him. The fires out there are very scary and I just hope we get it figured out.

The headline/title seems like something of a stretch for two reasons.

The first is pedantic. The US was formed in the 1700s, roughly a century before the first car was invented. Most, if not all, neighborhoods prior to that were built from scratch.

The second is less-pedantic. It is hard to imagine that the various communes and utopias designed/built throughout the twentieth century in the US all required a car in order to live in them and be a part of the community.

The actual product is pretty decent. They have sane defaults for security and unlike their open source product they enable security by default.

The management of it sucks. Management console is tied to a single email, theres no MFA, and the ui is only good for creating es instances. Anything production that stores data and open to public internet full stop must have MFA.

Logging for profit is not the panacea that people criticizing environmental groups thinks it is. Here in Australia, at least (where we do a lot more controlled burns and let fires burn out a lot more) commercial logging tends to leave a huge amount of combustible waste behind.

> Social media is just advertising that avoided regulation by being on the internet. Now it's rediscovering why public broadcasting laws are necessary.

Weirdly, online advertising is in some cases more restricted than traditional broadcasting. I've never seen a movie pause half-way through so someone can go "By the way, Microsoft paid us $5,000,000 to feature this extremely close-up shot of a Surface with the branding visible", but that's a legal requirement for YouTube videos containing sponsored content.
I know Daybreak is more advanced as a project and significantly larger, but Culdesac looks a lot more appealing to me if I were the target market. Lots of medium sized, social/public space spaces. Much more reminiscent of the old towns of European cities - Dubrovnik, etc - which are wonderful to wander around, find a small bar/restaurant/etc. I streetviewed one part of Daybreak and it looked very broad and less walkable.

That said, Culdesac might make for a pretty small neighbourhood? Is it replacing a trailer park, going by the angled concrete bits on satellite photos?

We have something similar here in South Australia, replacing a large industrial property: https://lifemoreinteresting.com.au/ It's not car free, but the parking affordances are very much minimised and designed to be trivial to walk/bike everywhere. It's centred around open spaces that are great to visit as an outsider and would be fantastic to live around: https://www.plant4bowden.com.au/ There are a range of architects and building styles so it suits more people - singles, couples and families. Get a townhouse without a car park. Get an apartment with three bedrooms and two basement car parks.

One thing it didn't seem to do when I visited was provide more in terms of ground-level commercial/retail tenancies. That would be the ideal scenario for a community, I think - small stores and businesses at ground level and living spaces around or above.
Maybe they don't believe the data? And it's very tedious to check. If that's the case, I suggest to check the data for a few individual universities.
