I haven’t tried to pitch something to nginx, but as long as you did it as a clean implementation, “We’re declining to merge, since this is duplicative of code in our paid offering” is the general approach. And then you’re able to maintain your patch set alongside their upstream source.
Between Intel and AMD there are two competitors here. Strange that the government didn't raise a similar concern when AMD acquired ATI or anytime Intel acquired just about anything but you know how these things work and I guess Apple isn't happy with this.

Somehow reminds me of when the SEC decided that Nvidia was the next Enron back in the 00s because a few of their employees did some piddly insider trading and they spent the next two to three years trying to destroy the company. In the end, earnings were adjusted up 10 million and they got rid of their CFO as a sacrificial lamb. All these government bureaucrats need to look busy after all.
yeah I rarely believe things that the US military industrial and political complex says. Bu this is not a hard thing to belive.
In x86 it is still one instruction: jc or jo after an addition.
That's not what they're saying. They're saying we should have protected those demographics and let the rest get infected.
I said my example was contrived because I didn’t test the prompt (admittedly I should have tried to).

I still think there’s a lack of explainability to the whole model though, and I struggle to understand how we could continue improving these models without understanding how they fundamentally make their decisions.

That being said, after reading some more output from GPT-3, it is more coherent than I remembered.
At times, yeah. The closer you get to capacity the more the staff are overworked, the more likely you are to be attached to the old/cranky/unreliable ventilator, the more likely you are to be seen by fill-in staff pulled from other departments, the more likely it is that your hospital will run out of some medication and have to substitute, etc...

So all other things being equal, you'd expect CFRs to rise with case load. Probably not linearly, but measurably.

My personal opinion on WSL and other "Linux integration" tech in a nutshell. We MADE this world. How dare they try to domesticate it! How dare they take our ladders, pulling them up right after they are done building their monopolies!

> At this juncture - i don't even particularly like desktop computing, no matter the flavor. It's all frustrating in their own ways - including my precious Linux.

I don't even want to see a Year of the Linux Desktop any more. It's a dumpster fire. Serenity OS and Haiku deserve their own Year of the "X" Desktop far more than we do. The Linux can keep its Century of the Linux Server trophy instead. And it's not a consolation prize, but a real achievement.
I didn't jump up and down saying there there is an alternative. But called a spade a spade.
>The U.S. isn't even in the top 10 producers of plastic waste in oceans (it's something like >30th on the list).

Coca-Cola and Pepsi are consistently the biggest offenders in plastic waste.

The United States should be the shining global role model we are so often told it is, and legislate to force better corporate behaviour around these issues.

At this point the consumer-blaming logic regarding single use plastic bottles is like "Well, we just make cigarettes, we can't help it if people smoke them and get sick."

Not good enough.
Year 8: 8-5 = 3, so 3% of revenue (from that year or from the previous 3 or 8 years?)

Year 11: 11-5 = 6, so 6% of revenue (from that year or from the previous 3 years?)

14 : 9% of revenue

...

103 : 98% of revenue

106 : 101% of revenue

If minimum revenue is $100, you wouldn't pay that much until year 103. But would it remain at $100 at year 106 onwards?

Edited: fixed math to subtract 5 years instead of 3.
> US covid deaths per million: 2,365.98

But it's not like you've "weathered the storm" and are ok now. It just hasn't happened to you yet. Is there any evidence that if Australians ever come out of hiding, they won't just suffer similarly to the rest of the world? All you've done is oppress your citizens and cowered away for a couple years. I guess you're hoping that something will save you from what other places have experienced, but its just wishful thinking, it has no basis in reality.

Being an island and not having a bill of rights let you isolate yourselves and restrain your countrymen in a way impossible in other western nations, but so far it's just bought you time, if living under lockdown counts as living. It hasn't actually solved anything.
I think that's only partially right.

.NET apps can be published with AOT code (ReadyToRun). WPF apps are still pretty slow to launch with ReadyToRun enabled; I haven't profiled it to see why, but I suspect it has a lot more to do with WPF (somewhat abandoned for a decade, and the XAML bits have always been slow) than .NET.

In my experience the JIT penalty at startup isn't as bad as people think, the .NET JIT compiler is really fast and the average console app is very quick to start up.

I think you need to recognize that the FTC is governed by its commissioners and chairperson, and those people have their own priorities that are going to be different than their predecessors. Lina Khan, current chair, is much more focused[1] on controlling tech monopolies than Trump’s appointees, who had what you might charitably call more “market oriented” priorities[2] (to me, a euphemism for “bought by big business”).

> what we need is a total ban on any plastics... I'm out of ideas because no matter what I say I know it's not going to reach you.

You're proposed solution would cause the deaths of at least tens of millions of people yearly and would undoubtedly push a huge chunk of society worldwide into abject poverty. This is among the worse solutions I can think of to address the problem of plastic pollution in Asia.
It looks like your question was answered in another reply to you more than a half hour before this comment of yours.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29423870

I'm by no means an attorney but the argument made seems sound.
Agreed on throwing plastic away. It's safer in a landfill than having it sold to a SE Asian country where it may be dumped in the ocean or burned out in the open. Plastics can safely wait in our landfills until the day comes when it makes economic sense to dig them up and use them in one way or another.
Give a lightning talk at ORConf 2022? They have a friendly community of designers who work with open hardware, including a few large companies.

But what did you actually assign? EBS volumes are priced based on provisioned capacity (including throughput if you choose io2 volumes).
Everyone uses the propaganda numbers. Here are the official ones:

https://impfdashboard.de/en/

Fully vaccinated:

60+: 86.1%
18+: 79.3%
12–17: 46.6%

Your only argument is not clogging up the ICUs. The only age group that has a significant risk is 60+, so isolate them or vax them or both. Forceful vaccination of 12-17 years olds will do exactly nothing for ICUs.

I also do not understand the focus on ICUs. Put up military field hospitals, intubation is questionable anyhow, just give oxygen. Most facilities in ICUs are not required for Covid (as I understand it, happy to be corrected if someone here actually has first hand experience).
Yacy might serve your needs well. It is a sort of distributed engine where users run their own index and "neighbors" share their indices with one another.

Point is if you solved a problem, you can sell the solution for USD

And those are all a tiny proportion of the plastics used in the world and banning them would only be an inconvenience, waste of energy, and moral show that would not accomplish the stated goals.

People don’t care about what they can’t see, and focusing on that means you do not really care about the problem.
> Let's look at some examples (7 instructions vs 2 vs 2)

Isn't this the classic RISC vs CISC problem?

Comparing x86/ARM to RISC-V feels like Apples to Grains of Rice.

If RISC-V was born out of a need for an open source embedded ISA, would the ISA not need to remain very RISC-like to accommodate implementations with fewer available transistors... Or is this an outdated assumption?

The press-release does not say anything about physical chip, but a licensable core that can be used to build SoCs. Here SiFive acts same way as ARM does - sells cores.
I agree that the real reasoning is political - it's all about saving face. But what's wrong with letting "big pharma" earn a dollar or two? They did a really great job, here, they're not selling snake oil and a vaccine is very likely still safer then even a "mild" variant of the disease.

But not the other baby bells, which is the point. Also, Apple went to Cingular after being rebuffed by Verizon. (Apple wanted no crapware. Verizon said no.) Competition working.
Whatever this style is, it is very ugly. I miss the old days of lovingly crafted pixel-art skeumorphism - even videogames rarely bother anymore.
I had a brief stab at this with https://bonzamate.com.au although its Australia specific to reduce the crawling and indexing requirements. It's main twist is that it runs entirely in AWS Lambda's meaning it costs nothing when it's not being used.
I agree that arm64 and RISC-V designers had basically the same hindsight and market conditions to refer to -- and they made a lot of very similar decisions.

But arm64 does seem constrained by compatibility with arm32 -- at least in that they until now (ten years later) usually have to share an execution pipeline and register set.

Is it really conceivable that the arm64 designers had free rein to make the choice whether to use condition codes or not on a purely technical basis? I don't think so. Even if they thought -- as all other designers of ISAs intended for high performance since 1990 have (Alpha, Itanium, RISC-V) -- that it's better not to use condition codes, I don't think they would have been free to make that choice.

The same goes for whether to expose instructions using the "free" shift on the 2nd ALU input. It's not really free -- it's paid for with a longer clock cycle or an extra pipeline stage or splitting instructions into uops. And since it was there for 32 bit they might as well use it in 64 bit as well. And the same for the complex addressing modes.
Disagree; it was synthetic fertilizers[1], not plastics, that made it possible to feed billions. It is perfectly possible to deliver that food to people without single-use junk plastics, and people have been moving large quantities of food around without plastics for millennia.

Yeah, math (or any subject really) takes a lot of time to learn, and Knuth’s books do a good job of providing plenty of exercises and explanations. I was just saying that it can initially be overwhelming for some, which is why they might want to try attacking something smaller and more broad (though this has more to do with someone’s mentality than the book itself).

Iceland Tried a Shortened Workweek and It Was an ‘Overwhelming Success’
I'm not a Microsoft fan (he writes from his Linux desktop) but I was astonished that Azure actually has working "This is how much we can spend, and literally no more" behaviour coming from previously working with AWS where that's either entirely unavailable or black magic known only to experts.

Why does it have that? Because Azure gives away $150/ month Azure credits to students with Visual Studio. If Azure "mistakenly" lets a student spend $5000 it doesn't get to bill their credit card or chase them with debt collectors, those student accounts don't have any money, don't have a credit card, may have no bank account, so long as some institution paid for Visual Studio licenses there may not even be a real human being behind them. So, the only option for Microsoft is to have a water-tight shut off once you spend $150. Added 1TB of SSD to a virtual machine when you meant 1GB? That's gonna burn your $150 real fast. Accidentally picked the turbo-fast Azure SQL instance instead of the toy one you actually needed to demo Power BI? Ditto. But you don't get an enormous bill and then hope they let you off, the credit runs out and everything goes dark instead.

Amazon seems to believe that so few people care about this they don't need to compete. Maybe they're even right. But I, for one, don't want to risk my life savings every time I'm on a screen where a fat-finger costs $5000 per hour, so Azure looks pretty attractive.
Hmm, that sounds like a good (if unintuitive) point. I withdraw the criticism. :)
It just means to write to disk where you left off, like saving your progress in a video game.
>Based on Apple not giving a shit what volume you’re buying, the price is the price.
Maybe the rules are a bit different for Amazon, but I wouldn’t bet on it.

You're backpedaling now. Nowhere in your first comment was there any reference to degrees or margins - it was all or nothing (the "price is the price").

It's ok to admit you were mistaken.
.Net != .Net Core, even though they rebranded it as such.

That's just revisionist marketing
Civilization was an utter hellhole for a majority of humanity for millenia, they didn't get along just fine. Life mostly sucked, with only brief moments of prosperity and joy for most human lifetimes.

Plastic is necessary for food with a shelf life of weeks or sometimes months beyond what it would be without plastics. Throw in antimicrobial properties and the lowered spread of diseases through shopping as another ancillary benefit. To get rid of plastics means increasing the cost of goods and lowering quality of life, most drastically for poorer people.

Quickly replacing unnecessary plastics is good, but some plastics are pretty crucial to a high quality consumer lifestyle.

I'd like to see a totally self sufficient, sustainable, and accountable lifestyle for everyone on the planet, but I'm also 100% on team human first, and humans living now take precedence over hypothetical humans later. There are too many interdependent factors requiring plastics for me to get on board with "end all plastics now! "
In fact, that's why this statement is "50/50".

The official number is 17 hours, bu I never had to test it in real life. The crazy thing is charging to 50% in 30 minutes, and 50% is enough to get me through my trips.
I literally don't care. I want freedom back. I'm done with this whole thing. Also, you meant 15% since we (I at least, see GP) was talking about the Netherlands.

This is what democracy looks like. 15% does not want it. The country should form itself to support that, to support what the people want.

I got my vaccines, we'll see how well they protect me if (when) I get sick. Shit happens.
It's terrifying how many things I used to be told in my youth about the "free world" have turned out to be blatant lies in the last few years. It's one thing to be forced by ruthless government but ordinary people demanding to be left without a choice is a sight to behold.

I'm ashamed to admit that for a couple of months early last year I actually believed in the "pandemic". I was really confused because so many countries acted along the same lines. And then I had. It was a basically a flu though my sense of smell has been degraded since then. My parent (70+) had it this last fall, my father ended up in hospital (no ICU or anything drastic). Still, my mother had had a much closer call with a flu a few years ago.

Now the company I work for forces me between undertaking experimental medical procedures and getting much better at leetcode. You know what's funny? They require we get pricked and go back to the office in Jan. But even though everyone will be fully "vaccinated" they still demand masks in the office. You know what's really funny? Of all our offices across the globe (including China of all places) only American ones require "vaccination". Most others at worst recommend masks.

Speaking of "pandemics". You know what you'd see if there were one (aside from bodies lying in the streets)? How about hermetically sealed borders? Including our southern one. With the border patrol shooting anything approaching it with no warning. Last time I checked the news, they were not even demanding "vaccination" papers.

Also I kind of remember "masks are necessary for medical professionals only", "2 weeks to not overload the ICU", "it's just a pinch", ".. or two", " .. and probably a second booster", <you are here>, ".. possibly every 6 months?".

Also, do you recognize that the government peddling all this "pandemic" propaganda is the same we have seen in action for the last couple of years? They have spectacularly failed at their core business of maintaining rule of law and fighting wars. Well, at least not losing one more humiliatingly than the Soviets. Why would you trust your health to them? My body my rules, anyone?
Right, maybe we should stick them on an island somewhere so they don't have contact with the rest of society then. Really, the degree of selfishness here is incredible. Don't you have parents or grandparents? Would you want them to be isolated from you and the rest of your family, their friends and neighbors for the foreseeable future just so you can pretend that there is no problem?
