This is not how Volta's "Independent Thread Scheduling" works under the hood, though I'm not at liberty to say what's actually going on (unfortunately, one of the upsetting things about doing GPU programming is how much "behind NDA" tribal knowledge there tends to be. If you have an NVIDIA devrel contact, ask for their "GPU Programming Guide", that should hopefully clear things up). So for now, you'll just have to trust me.

Suffice to say, the Volta "Independent Thread Scheduling" is only used for compute shaders, not for vertex and pixel shaders.

You're right to note that different warps can run with different program counters, and when communicating across warps, those need synchronization. That's what those barriers are necessary for (see GroupMemoryBarrier and friends in the high-level languages). However, the definition of dFdX chosen by these languages basically requires that all threads participating in the derivative be scheduled within the same warp. dFdX will never synchronize or wait on another warp.
Welcome to give a try.
Yep, I'm in the same boat. Was thinking about buying an Onyx Boox for the USB-C but probably I'll just buy the new Paperwhite.

If only they could ship to Indonesia...
Calibre runs on Mac/Win/Lin, why do you run it in a Docker container?
The nightlife would be amazing.

Makes me wonder how metabolisms would change. Dining, working out, other biological activities- how would they also be impacted?
I cannot conceive how Mace became defacto development devices. They're always heating up, their implementation of POSIX is sketchy at best, their peripheral support is horrendous in the name of aesthetics, and the keyboard is atrocious.

This is not to say that there are better alternatives. I have a Dell laptop running Manjaro, which is the second worst laptop experience I've had by far (the first was my 2019 Intel Macbook Pro). I ordered a ThinkPad P15 AMD Ryzen 7, which hasn't shipped yet (its been 2 months).

And recently I've discovered how horrible my network is at home and I doubt I can build a desktop unless I route ethernet wires through the walls. (Can't do that).

I wish there was a better solution for a Linux laptop which was sturdy, worked well (sleep, hibernate, wake from lock, bluetooth, wifi), and had a good screen and a lot of external ports.
>Research slated for publication in Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes shows that co-workers significantly overestimate how quickly senders expect replies to non-urgent emails -- especially those sent outside "normative" hours like nights or weekends.
The researchers call it "email urgency bias," a phenomenon caused at least in part by the fact that response speed has increasingly become a proxy for dedication and hard work. (The same way many managers see working long hours -- call it the "butts in seats" bias -- as a proxy for productivity.)
Another reason relates to closure. Sending that Saturday email gives you a sense of closure. You've thought outside the box. You've cracked the code. Boom: It's done.
Your head of shipping doesn't feel that sense of closure; in fact, receiving the email triggers her own desire for closure. Which means she has to respond.
The quicker the better, both because she thinks you expect it and also because then she, too, can try to put the matter aside until Monday.
A podcast with a similar premise is https://www.beautifulanonymouspodcast.com/

I say similar because the host is always the same person, but it's always an hour-long deep conversation with an anonymous guest about whatever they want to talk about.

I don't often listen to it because it's not something I can really leave on in the background (I end up paying too much attention to it) but when I do, I do enjoy it.
I'd suggest re-reading my previous comment.

On the context of the D Class:

Class D, History, was first drafted in 1901 and after undergoing revision was published in 1916. Two supplements were published: European War (first edition, 1921; second edition, 1933; reprinted in 1954 with additions and changes), and Second World War (1947). The second edition of class D was published in 1959, containing additions and changes through June 1957. A reprint edition was published in 1966, containing a supplementary section of additions and changes through July 1965. The third edition was published in five parts between 1987 and 1990: D-DJ, DJK-DK, DL-DR, DS, and DT-DX. Subclasses DS-DX, History of Asia, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, etc., were published in a single edition in 1998, complemented by a 2001 edition of D-DR. A subsequent edition was published in 2008, followed by an edition in 2012. Annual editions have appeared beginning in 2015. This 2021 edition of DS-DX cumulates all additions and changes that have been made since the publication of the 2020 edition.

https://www.loc.gov/aba/publications/FreeLCC/LCC_DS-DX2021PR...

For the divisions within the subclass, see: pp. 334--335: https://www.loc.gov/aba/publications/FreeLCC/LCC_DS-DX2021TE...

Culturally, the Romani are distinct within Europe, in having their own language and practices, and are a nomadic / diaspora group without a specific homeland and a long history of presence, and often various frictional interactions with, numerous other cultures, nations, and states.

Given that the group is tacked on at the end of the global history section, it doesn't seem to have an exceptionally high significance within the classification.

Other than that, I don't know what the rationale is, and I've tried to convey that I don't.

Do you have a specific argument against establishing a category for this culture?
I have a 13" M1 MBA and a 16" Legion gaming laptop. They're both good computers for their own purposes but the 230 watt power supply for the Legion is almost as heavy as the MBA (2.2 vs 2.8 pounds). Carrying the computer and the charger together my Lenovo is more than 3x heavier than the MBA.

Gaming laptops are just more-portable desktops to me. I would slip the M1 in a backpack without a second thought. It can even share a charger with my phone. Bringing a gaming laptop anywhere would need to be well justified.
I do not have that much trust in the government. However, the government, unlike corporations or algorithms, is the one thing I have some minute amount of democratic control over, corrupt though it is. Moving things like monetary policy away from corrupt government control directly into private hands, or moving it into completely inflexible algorithmic control (with the algorithm in turn controlled by private individuals) can only make things worse.

And note that, while QE is useful to the rich, it also permits things like giant infrastructure bills that help everyone. We've seen in Greece what can happen when money supply is constrained (in that case, by EU policy preventing one country from just printing euros), and it's definitely not the rich who lost. QE is being used to serve the rich not because it's inherently in their benefit, but because almost everything in our society is being used to help the rich.
So right after the military perfects it, hospital systems and financial institutions will buy it in bulk for their line workers too.
Hmm, that still seems like a silly practice. The custom today isn't 4 digit years anyway; it's whatever number of digits you need and no more. For example, we say Vesuvius erupted in AD 79, not AD 0079. We'll naturally switch to 5-digit years in the year 10000 that way without needing to put a leading 0 on every year in the meantime. And 5 digits seems arbitrary anyway: what happens in the year 100000?
Look at the dtory of Mediator in France. Same story. Take a substance that's known to cause cardiac valve defects but makes a ton of money, add an easily cleavable chemical group to it, make money until anybody notices, claim you didn't do it on purpose...
One of the things I miss about travelling. Pulling up at a small town pub and meeting the locals. They haven't heard your stories a thousand times and you haven't heard theirs. It's fun, sometimes sad, always interesting.
You might not be used to the much higher screen resolution. I would try it a bit longer, as higher resolution generally means less eye strain in the long term.

Yeah, I often see this as a challenge that most governments are based on physical space, and don't seem to know how to regulate digital space. For example, typing on this thread, I could be interacting with all people from the US like me, or people from maybe 20 different countries, all with different geographical law. Yet, we're all in this same digital space at the same time.

I'm curious how governance (not just government, but even governance of orgs and other platforms) adapts to a world that more and more abstracts away physical space.
To see and play with what people are building with Nix on Replit check out the #nix hashtag here: https://replit.com/apps/nix

Users vary from teachers building environments for their classrooms, to hackers tinkering with emulators, to kids making old games like run online.

We think we’re just scratching the surface with what we can do with Nix. It’s an outrageously underrated technology.
Speaking of alternative DE, there is also NEXTSPACE: https://github.com/trunkmaster/nextspace
I think donating to the Nix foundation would be as good as any.
DK 64 makes for an excellent revisit as long as you use the mod that lets you change characters without having to track down a change barrel.
What's liberating about talking with strangers is they don't know who you are, where you came from, what you've done, what you haven't done, who you know, or what you're like.

You can say whatever you say knowing you can't be judged by or held to some constraint from the past.

If your views on euthanasia are changing, because you suddenly have a close elderly relative or an associate whose circumstances are changing, a stranger won't berate you for having attended church for most of your life, even though you advocated the church's ideals which included no support for euthanasia. You can just talk about that subject in the context of your current circumstances, needs, and beliefs.

That's liberating and likely to be informative.

If you want to try out or finesse a different political point of view, such as that capital gains should be taxed more or less, or the death penalty is immoral, or social security should be limited to people who have worked and paid taxes for a minimum of 7 years, you can try that with a stranger and just listen to what they say, without having to assure them that you are from a friendly tribe or that you have an open mind, because they won't know your income or your status or your voting record.

When you speak points of view in an anonymous guise, or at least, one that isn't tethered to any prior baggage, you gain an opportunity to refresh your understanding in ways that you normally don't get from people who have such well developed expectations about you that they can't really hear what you are saying.

The same is true in deeply personal matters such as affairs of the heart, and confessions of moral confusion and even complicity in crimes. For many people, it's not until they hear someone's completely independent echo of a picture they've painted of themself that they begin to see themselves in a different light.

The great thing about this process is it isn't limited to one stranger, in the same way that your conversations with your bff is limited to only your bff.

Strangers are everywhere, and once you know how to strike up a meaningful conversation with them, you can do it again and again.

If you've never had this kind of conversation with a stranger, how can you be sure you know who you are?
so i assume you’re a billionaire fund manager?
Not just “shell” companies. Berkshire Hathaway is hardly a shell company, but much of its money comes from investments. Same with most insurers.
Many plants would die quickly if you use vinegar and it gets in the soil, same with baling soda. Thats stuff that will work for house plants but not really in a field unless you have a lot of people with tiny brushes...
1200 would have been unbelievably fast in 85. Try 300 acoustic couplers. I was a student lab tech in my high school in 83 or 4. Being the ahole I was, I’d walk into the lab and whistle loudly fully knowing that everyone’s terminal would freak out with line noise. BofH indeed.
> Chinese policy seems cool and calculated.

That doesn't mean it's smart. In actuality, China is doing a great job at destroying its reputation around the world and bringing countries together in preparation for a great conflict.

Japan is remilitarizing. Australia has awakened to the Chinese threat (when it looked for some time like China could have neutralized it). India is hip to China's aggression. The Quad is expanding and starting to look more like an alliance than a "security dialog".

Basically, China has done almost everything wrong. But there's a reason for that: https://foreignpolicy.com/2021/09/24/china-great-power-unite...

> They are going to continue these soft provocations until incursions are expected, and happen, weekly or even daily.

They have been happening daily for years already. And China doesn't just menace Taiwan this way. It does the same to Japan.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/28/asia/japan-china-fighter-jet-...

> China seems intent on a slow boil.

What China doesn't seem to realize is that it's the frog. The flashpoint is likely to come when the CCP realizes that and faces domestic turmoil.

Finally, I notice you edited your comment to remove the part about the Taiwanese people becoming "pro-unification". I'm an expat living in Taiwan right now and this is an unrealistic and uneducated suggestion.

The vast majority of people in Taiwan see themselves as Taiwanese, not Chinese, and this trend has only increased in recent years. Among young people, this is even more pronounced, so when all of the KMT old timers die off, the number of people in Taiwan who have any affinity for China will be miniscule.

The reason China is trying to intimidate Taiwan is that it fears Taiwan is slipping away. In reality, Taiwan never belonged to China in the first place.

Super agree and watching from afar. Would love to see a blog post from replit "why not docker" (which is likely to go into how docker is the wrong sort of encapsulation, caching, source/binary substitution?)
This is way off 3.11, seems more like 95 with 3.11 colors. But there's always room for improvements.
Thank goodness they don't all use a standardized design. What if the standard design was the wrong one? You couldn't switch to a competitor with a better design!
They can win the domestic Chinese market, who has their own home grown software for everything.

Soon, those companies will move beyond China as well.

Way to Health (Penn Medicine) | Full-time | Philadelphia, PA | Partially On-Site | Software Developer Way to Health

(https://www.waytohealth.org/) is a patient engagement and research platform, which has been used to power hundreds of research studies and clinical programs improving the health of our patients. We've launched over 200 different research and clinical programs, and there are around 100 running at any given time. The platform is built and managed at the University of Pennsylvania Health System (Penn Medicine) by our team of developers, implementation specialists, innovation managers, and more.

Way to Health had a huge impact on Penn Medicine's COVID response, caring for over 12,000 patients with COVID Watch, and communicated over 14,000 COVID Test Results to patients by SMS. We recently hit a milestone of 1 million patients who have been in Way to Health programs.

We currently have 6 developers on the team, and are looking to hire one more. Requires 3+ years experience with application development (especially but not only PHP) and a Bachelors degree.

More details at https://www.waytohealth.org/careers/. I'd also love to chat informally with any interested (or potentially interested) developers directly. Email me at my HN username at waytohealth.org.
I'm not saying they are equal in power over one's life. I do believe that most governments have more influence over one's life, whether national, regional, local, or other levels.

I also think most governments haven't regulated online interaction very much, for better or worse. Which means most online interaction is moderated/regulated/controlled by the platforms that host them. Yes, Facebook won't throw me in physical jail, however they could suspend or even ban my account. If I don't use it, not such a big deal. If it's the only way I communicate with 90% of the friends in my life and I run my business on there, it could be a huge detriment. They could even just tweak the algorithm of posting, without me knowing, and all of a sudden, my friends and family aren't receiving the messages I'm sending, without me knowing. Not just Facebook, but Amazon, Google, Visa, Stripe, Paypal, and many other platforms have huge power over our digital lives.

Is getting banned from Twitter the same as getting thrown in physical jail? Personally, in most cases, I don't think so. However, I still think these platforms can have a lot of power over one's life.
smart contracts are actually legally contracts (nor all that smart.)
I have to disagree with your timeframes a bit at least for home PCs. I never had an acoustic coupler but I had a 1200 and subsequently faster modems starting in about 1983. I did use acoustic couplers on teletypes in the mid 1970s.
As a chip designer, I find it satisfying that the shorted PCB caused the chip to heat up, but not fail. Max currents limited by design to avoid destructive failure. Fixed the short, chip (and system) came up fine. If only software was that robust...
Space Age
This has been a known (albeit apparently not well known) issue/solution since the first USB-C macs were introduced. The cause is the placement of internals and sensors and their proximity to the ports on each side.

You can “prove” (demonstrate) it without opening the case by taking a stock MBP, putting it under medium load that’s enough to generate heat without other factors, then compare fan speed and performance with power on each side. They’re noticeably different without changing any other factor.

And since the case itself is part of the thermal management design, you can feel relatively comparable heat generated by charging on both sides at the edge of the case above the keyboard. Obviously that’s not scientific, but it’s a pretty good clue there’s something else happening. Luckily, this is a known phenomenon and people have already done the legwork you’re asking for.
You just have to put some effort into it. I keep an open mind to gifts all year long. Whenever I see something I think suits someone, I buy it and toss it in a big bin for the next birthday or Christmas. Sometimes things sit in the bin for eleven months but every person I give to is surprised by the gift and loves it.
That's what I get for trolling right-wing trolls at zero-dark-thirty. Sorry.
Canada's passenger rail system is not exactly a market leader. It is ossified, as it seems are most of its customers. And given the distances and terrain between major Canadian cities, trains will just never win out against air travel.
Just rewatched that movie funnily enough. Yeah, most of what we think of as the Internet, or at least the Web, started to be in the consumer radar post-1995.
IPX8 is practically the highest waterproof rating for consumer electronics, not exactly sure how you want them to do better.

I looked up Ajax Fasteners to see if they made more than fasteners, and it seems like fasteners really were the bulk of their business. How can it possibly be true that there were no other suitable fastener suppliers in a country with massive mining, steel/aluminium production, and other heavy industries? It sounds like there's a story here.
Hm. It's a good point and it maybe it requires a more formal expression. We're kind of in the middle of a conversation about whether regulating your privilege to use other people's private networks to disseminate your speech is actually a curtailment of speech, or whether it's just those network owners expressing their own speech. But what is the relationship or the ratio of importance between freedom to speak and the ability to ve heard? If it's like you say, then denying someone use of your megaphone is tantamount to cutting out their tongue. But since I was born before any of these megaphones existed, and I know plenty of people who've built their own megaphones, I'm reluctant to say it's anyone's right to use one against its owners'/builders' wishes, regardless of how ubiquitous it has become.
I basically avoid large channels at work because it just absolutely bogs down my machine.

Hi, HN. I have been freelancing as a automation, data and python developer for more than 4 years now. But I think it is time for me to take the next step.

I have a passion of making sense from data. That is why I studied accounting in the first place, but my love for dealing with messy data and solving problems made me switch to doing programming.

I really love working with Python and Pandas and, SQL and Tableau is something I am loving equally. And after a very long time it clicked that I enjoy the duties of the traditional roles of data analyst, data scientist, data engineering, backend development. I am capable of fulfilling the roles of jr. data analyst or that programming guy which every data engineering team needs.

Even if you are not hiring for a full time remote role, I am always available for you as a freelance developer.
2019 was the year they released the 16” MBP and redesigned the keyboard to be a slimmer version of the pre-butterfly design. That’s a lot of industrial design to put into phoning it in.
I said they should send fines through the mail instead of stopping people for minor things. How does that lead to "madness"? If anything the deterrent would be even stronger since police could give more fines if they didn't have to waste so much time pulling people over.

I wouldn’t be that pejorative about it — the Magic Cap UI was actually useful — but yes, that’s closer.
I guess so, but these plants aren't meant to produce electricity. You'd build them totally differently if they were. Achieving ignition is a different kind of goal, and it's something that OUGHT to be pursued without trying to make the whole thing be a net positive producer of electricity. In reality, the only crime here is that fusion progress is just bloody and unnecessarily slow, and ITER folk seem to not care.
