I disagree that COVID was a bane for the news industry - I think it’s been a great boon to them. People locked down in their apartments with nothing else to do but refresh news sites and Twitter and have their chosen news network tell them how the other side is making it worse, all against the backdrop of an election? This is modern media’s wet dream and they’ve pounced on it.
"Counterterrorism measures" is a weird way for Reuters to phrase it - gives the impression that what's "counter-terrorism" is the legal authority, when it's the technology that's "counter-terrorism". But perhaps I'm wrong about the most likely public reading.

(Specifically - the security services' surveillance systems are flipped on for the entire domestic Israeli cell network, and known infected people's cell phone tower data handed over to the Ministry of Health along with that of uninfected people they were near.)

> The two doctors had received three doses of the Pfizer/BioNtech vaccine, and so far have shown mild COVID-19 symptoms, the hospital said.

The mildness of the symptoms is just as newsworthy as the fact that there are breakthrough infections. It has long been speculated that COVID-19 would evolve into more contagious but less virulent variants. Omicron may be one such variant. If it is, that's probably a good thing.

Wouldn't it be great if a vaccinated person could get omicron, have a mild illness, and then have even stronger immunity against other variants?

> What are you talking about? Starlink isn’t operating in India yet - why would the government need to hunt down anyone?

> Reuters states that since Starlink officially registered its business in India on November 1st, it has already seen over 5,000 preorders in the country [0]

That's from The Verge's article a few days ago.

> And if Starlink did start broadcasting in Indian airwaves without a permit (not really possible since they’d need a ground station but assume they place some ground stations around India’s borders)

They don't need to. It could just as easily operate from across the border, the ground station I'm connected to is in Canada even though I live in the United States.

> it would be a good opportunity for India to test its anti satellite weaponry.

Maybe if they had a geostationary satellite, sure. Starlink is a LEO constellation though, so if they took down a satellite this weekend, SpaceX would launch 60 more by next Saturday (and service wouldn't be interrupted since there's considerable redundancy built into the system). Unless India intends to take out a few hundred satellites and be responsible for potentially catastrophic space debris, I think it wouldn't be a good opportunity for them to test their anti-satellite weaponry.

Very few people have been talking about it responsibly throughout the course. It’s become a weird morality issue and anyone taking about it from that position is adding to the problem regardless of moral stance, and the morality isn’t even being done correctly focusing on the actual issues.

I guess it’s just a symptom of the attention economy and the bad state of education and ability for independent thought everywhere.
It's true that 1.0 feels really old at this point. We're also trying to improve messaging that people should generally not be using LTS unless they work in a really deeply risk-averse organization. Almost everyone should just use the latest release. That messaging should hopefully help make what the LTS release is less important. It just shouldn't matter to most people.

> how is running in debug compiled mode different than just...running the code normally?

It's not. By default, the debugger will recursively interpret any nested function calls until it encounters any intrinsics, since breakpoints can be set inside any functions. Compiled mode means the debugger won't do that for functions in a certain module (e.g. Base) and instead invoke the function like you normally would, so breakpoints either inside those functions or -- if functions from other modules are called from inside the compiled functions -- also breakpoints inside those will be ignored.
I don't know about other jurisdictions, but not in the USA. Most judges I know laugh off reversals by higher courts.

I was in court the other day when a criminal defendant's case was brought back up because it had been reversed on appeal due to the judge making errors in his instructions to the jury. The defendant had already spent five years in prison and to avoid another trial decided to take an offer by the prosecutor to go home that day in exchange for his guilty plea. The judge just chuckled as they read out the reversal order and basically said (not verbatim) "Whoopsie, my bad." For wrongly convicting a person.

In fact, now you have me thinking about it, I can't remember a single time being in court where a judge has taken a reversal seriously. All of their reactions have always been flippant and jovial.

Some judges get extraordinary amounts of reversals.

Judges regularly piss the appellate courts off with their shitty work. I can think of two local criminal cases recently where the appellate courts were mad because they ruled in both cases that there was absolutely no evidence of the guilt of the defendant. Another one I was in court for - a prisoner presented a 17 count suit against the prison guards for essentially torturing him over a decade-long period and the judge flicked through it and simply said "case dismissed". The guy flipped out in court. The appellate court reversed, but they were shocked because each of the 17 counts needed a several-step analysis to determine its credibility and the judge did nothing -- and the appeals court then had to do all the work. That particular judge is super hilarious when his robe is off and we are all waiting around in the courtroom - he'll shoot the shit with me all day, and then put his robe on and deny all my motions lol.

The company was sold to Symantec back in the late 90s, I believe, and he retired (for the most part). At that point, he no longer had the source code. Symantec eventually closed it down. Given the state of things like version control back then, I would be surprised if anybody has that source.

(Is my conservative use of spelt (not the grain) equally confusing?

Omicron Fails to Halt Art Basel Miami as People Crave Normalcy
Here, it is possible to move oneself from working class to upper-middle class by working in the software industry. Our children have free rein to move to the upper class if they're up to the task. In Asia, it appears to only be possible to move up a small rung or two per generation, maybe more if you're lucky enough to win the university lottery.

Class mobility is still unparalleled in the West.
In the USA, at least, this system is generally fair. I think most jurisdictions will allow you at least one switch of judge before the case begins if you don't like the one that got assigned - you can basically throw your lottery ticket back in the hat and get them to pull one more time.

The basic answer is it (similar to enzyme) is hooked into a compiler so it can optimize before and after AD. This is important because the typical approach can lead to code that is much harder for the compiler to optimize.

> do prompt engineering

Prompt engineering has always been a useful tool and still is. But a lot of problem, discussed here, can't be solved by any amount of fiddling. When Google does not even search long tail results, and there is nothing relevant in any of their "caches", doing prompt engineering only wastes one's time.

It appears, that there is some sort of fallback (?), that brings results of unfulfilled queries into a cache, but it isn't fast enough to respond to the user in real-time. Maybe Google should openly admit, that their resources aren't infinite, and offer to e-mail a better results once they are ready. Seriously.

I don’t have insider info but you can almost certainly use this on a 120v outlet. 120 has been the standard for 50 years and you would only need special consideration if the power requirement was something weird like 3-phase 208v or 480v or something.

You have to generally assume that the FBI and other government agencies are competent. My baseline, starting assumption is that if everyone in the US was too scared to use programs like PRISM, they wouldn't have been built.

So these kinds of claims just don't make any sense in a world where we know that government has conducted surveillance without a warrant, and where we know that the FBI has built entire programs designed to make it easier for them to conduct surveillance without a warrant.

From the article posted that you're replying to:

> What Administration officials tend to obscure is that what they seek is not immunity for future cooperation with lawful surveillance, but rather telecom immunity for assisting with unlawful surveillance conducted from October 2001 through January 17, 2007, as part of the warrantless wiretap program initiated by the White House.

I'm not sure I understand what your implication is. I don't understand how it's possible to respond to an article that is about telecoms seeking immunity for previous unlawful actions by saying, "the government/businesses would be way too scared to do anything unlawful." I mean... obviously not, they sought immunity for it. They wouldn't just randomly do that, the most likely explanation is that they made immunity a pressing issue because they thought they needed it.

It does not seem to me that the optimistic world you describe and the observable actions and lobbying efforts of companies/administrations line up with each other.
I'm surprised given what you've written that you're still interested in celebrity opinion.

So, why aren't you using a six word phrase that expresses why "normies" should care about the laptop, instead of a tag that only communicates to the already initiated?

I think this may be more of an impediment than "censorship". Also, it would help to put it in context with Hillary's emails. I've forgotten why those mattered.
I'm also not an American - but as far as I've read - massive abuse of power in using the FBI to spy on political rivals, illegal wiretapping, illegal surveillance of US congressmen and even presidents, running the FBI while they were doing extremely controversial programs like COINTELPRO and programs and investigations that tried to hinder the civil rights movement, etc.

Having been in jails I've never seen anything of this sort. Although I did set up a coded email system using the commissary food ordering computer which got me labeled as a hacker and eventually banned from using the PCs for school.

5x the federal minimum wage doing food service in a unionized job sounds about right.
I agree, it's up to anyone consuming sources to decide for themselves based on available evidence.
I'd say, even if you are correct that it's cheaper on a per-prisoner, something I find hard to believe, the incentives to imprison more people are so perverse that I would anticipate the price would catch up, and that's before we even consider the moral ramifications of imprisoning people to satisfy a quota set by a profit-seeking entity.
That is a really interesting thought.
You didn't answer the question, and instead leapt to something hand wavey about how people fill in blanks.

Nobody is grinding away at anything, perhaps other than yourself. It seems many people here are mystified by your unyielding interpretation of a two word sentence and nobody can seem to get a straight answer out of you, other than repeating the truism that "it's not obvious".
I was teaching C# to the detainees in one jail. I only had the compiler that was installed in the Windows folder, but no reference docs. I tried to get a C# book mailed in, but it was refused as it "could be used to hack [my] way out of the jail."

Luckily one of the nuns at the jail took pity on me, ordered it herself from Amazon and smuggled it in, complete with enclosed CD-ROM.

I could only do command-line apps, so I taught them how to write a text adventure :)
Basgo – compiles BASIC-lang to Golang
I question the legality of this post: I'm pretty sure the Intel microcode specification is proprietary. While it's hard to say with certainty since Intel makes their website as hard to navigate as humanly possible, I doubt they'd hand over their secret sauce to competitors.

On one hand, the subject of microcode would benefit from more transparency. Indeed, there are papers describing microcode behavior (Citadel's gpu papers come to mind).

With that said, I'm concerned that the authors are more interested in exploits, given they have a disassembler repo. While a disassembler alone doesn't warrant concern (microcode is very specific to hardware), it is concerning if their presentation's claim is true; that is, the whole Atom line has similar microcode. I hope I'm wrong. I'm by no means an expert, but the sanctions leave me uneasy lol.
You don't really need the microcode to implement the x86 ISA in a meaningful sense unless you are literally trying to copy the exact behavior of a specific x86 CPU down to that microarchitectural layer--which would be odd to need since any program written for x86 + SIMD level has to work on any microarch Intel puts out.

You can implement the x86 ISA with existing Intel reference manuals and then testing instructions on a CPU to vet out differences/errata. Microcode doesn't add value to this. Knowing how the instructions work on this level can help optimize code and compilers. This is knowledge Intel likely builds into its ICC compiler that GCC, MSVC and others don't have.

Custom microcode could potentially run instructions faster than Intel's, but I really doubt anyone will get there. Another interesting thing is customized instructions. But again portability between microarch's is probably difficult.
Big long ramble incoming, sorry in advance.

Intel laptops having 2x TB4 ports, having 80GBps connectivity, which can be used for host-to-host connectivity (a usb4 thing), is just putting super stupid to shame desktops & the 2.5Gbit/5Gbit/10Gbe push. Laptops are just so much more interesting & capable than desktops, such better connectivity!!! The 8g1 here having 10Gbps wifi is just another hot indicator that many many many types of connectivity have simply not kept up, that consumerized market tiering & their very slowly shifting price points have severely critically stiffled innovation.

It's absurd how weirdly lopsidedly bandwidth is advancing. There's historical precedent that keeps allowing old, slow standards to endure, not be challenged. The creation of 2.5 & 5Gbe created the impression that there's a tiering of consumer offerings... but to be honest, I think 25Gbe, not 2.5Gbe, should just be the modern expected standard, that we should just do it. True, ethernet is far bigger a challenge, far more distance & difficulty & power than USB aims for, but in my guestimates it's like 90% market tiering & consumer price point acceptance that defines what we're getting, not real competition, not real tries. And laptops are just way way way way better, doing way more, than everyone else. But we don't see, we haven't tried to really raise desktop expectations, basically ever. ~20 lanes of slightly-behind-the-times PCIe is all we've ever got & all we've ever expected.

As for power efficiency, I don't see that there's enough tea leaves to read now. TSMC will probably have an edge, but at this point I think the difference is probably not that critical. Just a guess.

Yes, you see this as people point out that Gibraltar, a place that is supposedly 100% vaccinated, is experiencing an outbreak of 3000 cases since June.

What they leave out is that 4 people have died in Gibraltar of Covid since that outbreak started. In January before vaccines were available, they had an earlier outbreak of 3000 cases. Close to 100 people died during that outbreak.

This seems like a very obvious case study on the effectiveness of the vaccine, yet the vaccine skeptic analysis seems to stop at the cases and concludes that the vaccine is ineffective. When in reality, it's working fantastically well at preventing the most serious cases that lead to death.
