I agree and if there's some consolation it's that digital records tend to also get eroded over time, maybe quicker than old school photos. The key thing is to ensure they are not too save-worthy.
Using your wealth to forcefully prop up your fledgling(?) career seems like an asshole move. Donating funds with some strings (e.g., put your name on the building/school)? Fine. Donating and forcing your amateur designs be used? Asshole move. At that point you're not really trying to benefit anyone but yourself.
I love bike/scooter shares because I can ride one way and if it's raining later, I'll take the bus. Biking is almost always fastest for a short/medium trip. I also have a pretty high tolerance to being out in the rain - waterproof shoes are the secret to being a pedestrian in a rainy city. I like Vessi. They don't feel that sturdy but I've put 100s of miles on my current pair and can still walk straight through a puddle and keep my socks dry.

There is no one transportation mode which works for every single person in every situation, including cars. That's why a healthy city supports a mix of transportation modes, and an emphasis on density.
Sure it's not 100% of the time but that's besides the point still. Isn't NIFO a bad fit for the times when per-unit costs are decreasing? And since this happens fairly regularly it seems like a bad choice period, or at least not obviously better than FIFO or LIFO.
It is still better to keep as many accounts separate as possible. At least right now if you get banned from Facebook your google account doesn’t get banned also. And though I have never been banned from Facebook I wouldn’t want to tie real life game purchases to a social media account where saying the wrong thing might end you up in trouble. Hard pass.
Any abusive government is big if you're looking at a small community, agreed.
They are great for riders but starting to be plague pedestrians in Germany. It can be stressful to walk and constantly have to watch for high speed bikes.
What makes a firefighter an expert on building egress requirements? The building must meet NFPA code (or whichever fire code the AHJ has selected) or it can’t be built, period. Whoever their insurance company is will not insure the building if it doesn’t meet life safety requirements.

Dismissing someone who isn’t a fire code expert who is making claims about fire safety is just fine to me.

If we were discussing how to safely fight fires, then by all means defer to the firefighter.
Big government enables this behavior by example.
M1 Pro and Max uses LPDDR5, not DDR5.

>If this is actual memory bandwidth, then Apple increased that bus speed 5-15x!

Yes because GPU requires lots of bandwidth. Top of the line Nvidia GPU has ~ 1TB/s memory bandwidth.

>I've been very irritated by the pricing, but if Apple figured out how to optimize the memory bandwidth this much then maybe it's worth the extra cost per GB.

You are not only paying for memory aka LPDDR5 chip, you are also paying for the additional memory controller. Which has an implication on yield and die size cost. Whether you think it is worth or still irritated by that pricing is of course subjective.

I always loved mowing lawns. Something about it is so satisfying. I've always dreamed that I would someday quit software and go around trying various jobs. Cut lawns for a bit, be a bartender, drive a truck. Although some jobs require training / licensing, it would be fun to pursue for a few months. Too bad I have kids and responsibilities and bills to pay.
> It's also the workers in the office who don't want to be dehumanized by cleaning up an inconsiderate trucker's piss and poop.

There is a crucial difference. For the workers this is their job. For the truck driver, taking a shit is a fundamental human right.

If you don’t want to clean up shit? Don’t take that job. But a truck driver doesn’t get to decide he no longer has to take a monstrous shit.
> Ballmer did start Azure though

This is analogous to Xerox experimenting with GUI and not really believing in it. No real drive, no zeal. Satya doubled down on it. Made it priority 1 and most importantly executed it well.

Ballmer's world view was completely different which was more rooted in 90s and early 2000s. He was more of Windows guy and not really seeing the changing trends. That is why MSFT's foray into mobile looked like an after thought.
We did't even get a full 20 years like the boomers but only 15!

Stands to reason I guess.
It is unreasonable that an individual who is neither a German citizen nor within German territory would later be subject to "real consequences" from the German legal system for actions which were perfectly legal in the time and place where they were performed. Even if they do later travel to Germany. This concept of extraterritorial jurisdiction needs to stop before we end up with a dystopia where either (a) no one can travel anywhere for fear of arrest based on something they did legally elsewhere, or (b) everyone is forced to comply with every law in every global jurisdiction at all times (even the conflicting ones which are impossible to satisfy) no matter where they happen to be or what the local laws may permit.

Even if Germany should decide to be unreasonable and claim global jurisdiction, it should either bar the offending individuals from entering altogether or grant them immunity under German law during their stay for anything done outside the country beforehand. Knowingly inviting someone in only to prosecute them would be a gross violation of the basic principles of hospitality.

If Germany doesn't want certain data coming in to their country they are welcome to erect a firewall at their border, at their own expense, to prevent their own residents from accessing it. Of course that still infringes the natural rights of the German residents, but that is an internal matter between the German government and those living there, who presumably would be permitted to leave if they so desired. It is not the place of non-German server operators to enforce German censorship laws, including but not limited to copyright.
Civil asset forfeiture abuse is an important ongoing political issue, but it is not hacker news.

Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

As someone paying a six figure invoice to have their project audited right now, it's really not that simple.

Do audited projects get hacked? Yes, absolutely. Is a clean audit report mean a project is bullet proof. Definitely not, especially if it's not from a top-tier firm. But an audit will definitely catch any of the common exploits that are easy to make, like this protocol doesn't check to make sure that the caller is not currently inside another transaction in the contract.

All in all, an unaudited protocol has at least an order of magnitude higher risk than one audited by a reputable firm. Ignoring audits altogether would be like refusing to lock your doors, because you heard about a house that still get robbed when the front door was locked.
This would have likely been caught in a standard audit. Flashloan attacks are incredibly well known and any auditor worth their salt will examine those scenarios
Yep. The push for zero inventory, just in time, outsourced manufacturing created a traffic jam when there was no buffer to absorb the shock.
This is simply not true. A government of almost any size can act freely in this way without sufficient oversight. If you're out in a rural area at the mercy of the local sheriff it doesn't matter how much "big government" your state has.

The only way "small government" would remedy this is if they were so outnumbered by the populace that citizens could take their property back by force. But in reality, the citizens would just get gunned down.

Cancelling queries with MySQL is hard, in my pretty dated experience.

There's no signal you can do from the client directly. You can do a kill thread ID from another client, but that's only checked at some points, and I wouldn't expect it to stop an update in progress.

Kill -9 the unix process should work, but pulling the cord might mean less chance of changes persisting to disk.

At the time not great. But I think it was more our application at issue. The support was there in principle but they kept saying to get the most out of it would be not not use an ORM.
This seems to be a survey used to generate data which will support a desired hypothesis.

Starting from the first question: "What kind of cars do I keep?" Well, there's the "farm truck" which runs on gas and gets about 100 miles a year worth of driving, the four door compact used as a "grocery getter", and the EV which is used for the vast majority of time on the road.
According to they AppStore description, DuckDuckGo only blocks trackers. Doesn’t say anything about adblocking.
> In the follow up to the Grenfell fire[1], my development was reviewed and the cladding in use on several buildings was found… less than ideal.

Yes! And by whom was it reviewed? And what happened when they reviewed it? I'm guessing the answers are "government regulators", and "they made sure it was fixed". And now it's being fixed.

You're literally citing the fact that safety regulation worked correctly as evidence... that it doesn't? Without the regulators you'd still be living in a deathtrap!
Yup. You can compare them with Ballmer's big acquisitions – Nokia, Yammer, Skype, aQuantive. Almost all of them were completely written off.

I like your line of reasoning, however, apparently the mechanism the attacker used was patched. According to your logic, this is the fundamental design of the system, and should be impossible to patch. That makes me more inclined toward the belief that this was a bug in their code.
It's just a drinking club. Would you stop hanging out with your globalist buddies on the taxpayer's dime if no one had the power to stop you?
Isn’t that true for Apple, Google, Amazon and Microsoft as well? I have games on Xbox, movies in iTunes, books and audiobooks with Amazon. I’ve hedged my bets but it still would be non-trivial loss for me.
Facebook wants to offer products and services in exchange for money. The nerve! >:(
Oh you mean disk image; I was thinking ROM image. Yeah, it does seem to be very large and seemingly much of it unnecessary for booting. I wonder what led to that situation. It seems more like a replacement for the BIOS and DOS, not just the BIOS. I am surprised we don't see more people using it like that just for fun.

They are explicitly banned from "soft matching" account now, by germany of all places.

Since Sundar became CEO:

- GOOG has grown nearly 300% (last 5 years). It is by far the strongest performing large tech stock this year (>+50%).

- They just announced one of their best quarterly earnings in their history (highest quarterly revenue increase in 14 years).

By these metrics, Sundar seems to have been a great pick. If not for the above metrics, how would you evaluate the CEO?
Did every dollar of the $130m come from people who had genuinely evaluated the code, or had most of it come from people who trusted the authors not to screw it up this time?

It sounds like people trusted CREAM with their money, and shouldn't have. Not as trustless as you might hope.
I've heard it used without the additional words, e.g. "They left... because." in which because is meant to mean "for reasons mysterious to me" or "for reasons that don't make sense but whatever."
You may be better informed than I, but my understanding is that GPGPU would be like the integrated graphics found on AMD's Ryzen APUs based on the Zen architecture. But Zen is used in CPUs that do not have have integrated graphics.

You specify "either discrete or embedded" but how is that different from before, i.e. "from this point forward"?

Alder Lake CPUs also offer chips with our without integrated graphics, just as past Intel chips did. And, just as before, they are either paired with discrete graphics, or they have integrated graphics.

None of that seems to answer the OP question, though.

> Will Apple’s GPU ideas get fully supported by app developers?

Since you're talking about Alder Lake, I'm guessing the change you're really trying to speak on is the pairing of performance and efficiency cores, which has been common in mobile devices for quite a long time, but was brought to laptops with Apple Silicon, and finally reaches desktops with Alder Lake.
I was about to post the same thing. Self-organisation maps seem a classical computational model to me. If the author’s point was that computational models should be biologically plausible, there are many other examples as well. I’ve never really understood what neuroscientists are talking about…
Mine's in an InWin 301. Not the smallest possible, but reasonably compact. No optical drive bay, one 3.5", three 2.5". Airflow is suboptimal, the front fans turn 90 degrees and blow out through small gaps in the side, so I've used fans there with high static pressure rather than high flow rate and it seems to work well enough.

But I'm not doing any overclocking and my GPU is solidly midrange, for a hotter computer you might want better ventilation.

Only small nuisance is I can't open it up while it's in the desk mount, so I have to unplug all the cables and remove it. Don't do that often enough to complain about it, might be able to fix it by dremelign off a chunk of the mount if I were concerned.

Glass panel is not really by bag, but under the desk I don't care about it. Solid side option is available but I wouldn't pay extra for it.
My father in law has been a trucker in the US for a long time, and really enjoys it, or rather used too. Video cameras being installed in the truck cab are the reason he's changed his opinion. In every way he is an upstanding citizen, employee, and driver, and even though he's passed retirement age he enjoys driving seasonally. I think this will be his last season due to the cameras.

I know that if someone was watching me during all working hours I would also look for the exit.
My new maxed out 16 inch just arrived. I'm going to compile my rust project on it and see how different it is once this transfer finishes. I don't think I've been this excited about new hardware since I was a teenager. Back then the difference between a new and old computer didn't require measuring.
I can see how you can think that's the case if you set up the incentives to only attract those people.

As others have said, this is the way ML is headed and it has been clear for the last couple of years.

Assuming a multi-task and multi-modal architecture is achievable, won't we reach a point in the future where preprocessing data is just as difficult as the machine learning component? Today, the input to ML models is almost always carefully curated and processed.
Like Stata, it's grown on me a bit looking from the outside. It's certainly not boring. Never been inside though so no idea how well it works as a dorm.

In addition to the window thing, the sheer scale of 4,500 students gives me pause. It's something like 10x the number of students of any dorm I've ever experienced.

Sure. If disruption appears on the horizon in one of the sectors these tech companies are in, then it will get interesting how the CEOs position themselves.

But at the moment I don't see that in any of the sectors. So I don't have an hypothesis to rank Goole/Apple/Microsoft. All three hum away in a similar fashion at the moment.
My naive implementation (as shown in the linked question) in Rust was mind boggling slow. C could do around 150MiB/s, while Rust could only do 10MiB/s. A simple `objdump -d` shows Rust is generating a lot more code. I'm not sure how much of that is relevant though.

At that point my coffee time ran out. I wish I had more time to figure out why. :-(

Another possibility would be that panspermia could be possible in densely packed newly forming star clusters, like the one our solar system was born in.

These clusters can be very dense (10,000 stars per cubic parsec, perhaps). With such closely spaced stars, and with residual gas around the stars, it might be much easier for material ejected from one system to be captured in another.

So, IF life arose very early in one such system, it might spread to all the others. The statistical weight of "early OoL" events would be amplified, vs. OoL events that occurred later after the cluster had spread out and dissipated. Observers would tend to derive from these prolific spreading events, just because they'd seed so many systems.

This is a nice scenario for science fiction, since it would allow thousands of life bearing systems in our galaxy (with compatible biosystems!), while evading much of the bite of the Fermi argument. In this scenario, SETI should look for stars with compositions very similar to the Sun, spread on an arc ahead/behind our system on its orbit around the center of the galaxy (the stars would have spread to about 180 degrees along this orbit since their formation).
So which one was the guy who quit?

As a first rough test (for a blog; if you’re going to have lots of images things get more difficult), do select-all, copy, paste into a text editor. If you see all the text, it is in reading order, paragraph breaks (line breaks in code sections) are where you expect them, words aren’t cut into pieces and there are no noise characters in-between, chances are decent you’re good (I’m sure you still can mess things up if they do, for example by adding a zillion invisible pictures to a page, but doing so accidentally isn’t likely) (disclaimer: browsers may have gotten smarter with this. If so, this rough test has lost value)

If you see problems there, those are areas where you want to pay attention to when looking how screen readers behave (doesn’t mean you should ignore the rest)

Also, look at screen colors and contrast. Many legally blind users have some remaining vision that they may use.
In 2019 Apple switched the MacBook Pro keyboards back to scissor switches from the problematic butterfly switch. That change increased the travel slightly though not quite to the same as the pre-2016 levels. Typing feel of the 2019 models was closer to the pre-2016 models, too.

I would expect these to be generally similar as they seem to use the same switch style. The important thing is that they don’t have the butterfly garbage.

For my part, you can't declare "we're building this outside of the bounds of the legal system, but we're going to lean on that self-same legal system when it fails".

In the event of a fire, "opening" the window is not necessarily a function of if the window is MEANT to be opened ... but CAN it be opened. Eg: throwing a chair through it, or firefighters breaking window from outside, etc.
I used a realtor to buy my new home and I sold my previous home to Zillow. The process of buying my new home flat out sucked. The entire process was slow, outdated, and frustrating.

However, working with Zillow was incredibly easy and not at all frustrating. We reached out; they inspected the house; they provided an offer; we accepted it; and then they took care of absolutely everything else. They kept us in the loop, set everything up for us, and we ended up with the money in our account and the old loan paid off all the while charging us 1.5% whereas a Realtor would have been closer to 6-8%.

We made out like bandits and I am disappointed I cannot recommend them to anyone else until they come back into the market.
