Practically speaking, ECC is extra insurance against faulty memory.

It's true that ECC will catch errors caused by cosmic rays, but in practice most memory errors are just from faulty memory. Large studies in Google datacenters showed that the errors were heavily concentrated in a small number of DIMMs: http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~bianca/papers/sigmetrics09.pdf

The catch is that you don't really know if you have one of these faulty memory sticks. I always run memtest86 overnight to check for obviously faulty memory, but some of these errors could take months to manifest.

I had a laptop with a RAM cell that failed. It would show up in memtest86 in a matter of minutes, yet surprisingly I didn't notice the issue for a very long time in day to day usage. I always wonder if there were random bit flips in anything I worked with during that period, but I'll never know.

With ECC, it's just one less thing to worry about.
"Gravity waves" are ordinary water waves, or other waves of a fluid, where gravity provides the restoring force:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_wave

They have absolutely nothing to do with gravitational waves.

Nonetheless, in the gravitational wave community (i.e. LIGO) we don't usually ever talk about true "gravity waves" so we use the terms interchangably.

The exception is that "gravity waves" in the Earth and the atmosphere can couple to LIGO through ordinary Newtonian gravity, which is something we have to think about and exclude.

This project IS a MIC project. Who do you think this benefits besides astronomers?

But yeah, cut spending anywhere, but just can't help not getting excited over this while people are suffering. And I am saying this as a kid who wanted to be an astronomer when he was 13 and worked at a gas station to buy a celestron C80 telescope.
This is the relevant bit...

> The Blanco Fault Zone is a transform, or strike-slip, boundary; that means it's where tectonic plates slide along one another. The most dangerous and powerful faults are usually seen in subduction zones, where one plate dives beneath another.

I was initially concerned about tsunamis - but this implies they don't occur on these types of fault lines.

...still... it's a good excuse to take a moment to think about preparedness. If you live on the coast - consider the most efficient inbound evacuation routes.
You are correct, but some games can yield exceptionally complicated state machines.

I designed a language for solving this: http://www.adama-lang.org/

I get all the benefits of a data driven state machine with the simplicity of a language that supports asynchronously asking users for updates.

To be fair, 85 lumens per watt isn’t very good these days, or even compared to T8 CFL lamps (60 lumens per watt).

Efficient LED fixtures are putting out ~130 lumens per watt these days, some LED highbays are pushing 175-200 lumens per watt.

the EU is not China

those subsidiaries are EU companies: they have the same right to market access and to be treated in the same way under EU law as those of Bosch or Miele

and they're capable of suing if they're treated differently

the fact the CEO of the parent company thinks the EU is shit doesn't change this
Agree with jleahy.

I would add that considering counterfactual situations like "if the sun were to move instantly to the right" is of limited utility. That cannot happen (violates conservation of momentum). (Granted, other thought experiments have been quite influential in this field...)
The title reminded me of that Star Trek episode, in which they realize, that warp drive usage has a permanent effect on space time and can tear terrible rifts open, which could destroy basically everything and then decided, that throughout the whole federation there would be speed limits or so.

Instead of using --force to clobber all sorts of permission scenarios, wouldn't you want to specifically avoid non-existing files and handle that? I'm thinking something like....

stat -q example.txt && rm example.txt

With a literal filename, rimraf is safe enough, but I wouldn't mind some extra care around `rm -rf $somepath`.

I'm probably missing some context here, because I have a well paid job and it makes me happy.
I'm saying that people who accept less pay do it because they consider other factors that compensate. Those factors could be anything, and are subjective in the sense they vary for individuals. It's very common to suggest that public servants are motivated by something other than to selflessly serve the public. For example, gold plated health insurance.

What I'm claiming as a general principle is that some people have a huge advantage in opportunity cost for a certain job, and organizations can be seriously affected by concentrating those people together. And we see this all over the place.

Consider the Abu Ghraib scandal. It's not that joining the military entails that sort of thing, or that it's rightly part of the job, but if someone has an affinity for abusing prisoners, then most jobs do not offer the same opportunity. Theoretically, decent people who value doing good should be attracted to jobs that are important and underpaid, but in practice, bad people who value side benefits to an extreme degree may dominate the market of people who will take the job.
Putting a man on the moon was relatively simple in comparison, actually.

All the resources focused down to a single task, a single vessel, and a single mission.

In comparison, there are countless jurisdictions and hundreds of millions of lives being effected, plus well established property lines that need to be redrawn all over the place.

I'm not saying I approve of how much it costs to do reasonable infrastructure related projects at all, but the meme of "things were so much better back then" has never not been old.
No, that's not true. It will be orbiting around L2 and not stay at L2, so it will have access to sunlight, which powers the solar array that faces the sun. The actual observatory and the mirror are shielded by the sunshield.

Good points. Sometimes projects need constraints to get moving.
At standard speeds, braking is traction-limited: brakes have enough power to block the wheels. Usually, heavier cars also have wider tires and are still traction-limited when braking, and usually braking distances are about the same. SUVs make lots of tradeoffs, but stopping power isn't usually one of them.

The ideal SSC as I see it would need to be provided a set of "representative" inputs to optimize for. I don't think you should be able to expect a compiler to guess what the most common inputs would be. I completely agree that a SSC cannot beat a human who understands the typical input when the SSC does not.

My original comment was based on the idea that a SSC would be able to deduce M's distribution from the "intrinsic character of the algorithm used". In that case the optimization would be based on the code not the data.

Yes, why not? Must it absolutely be so that a 20 year old Macbook can run the latest kernel? One that isn't even released yet, it's just in the preliminary planning phase? It's not even like new software wouldn't run on it. Most software runs fine on 10 year old linux kernels. Also, by calling them 'users' you're anthropomorphising, who are these actual real human beings being "left behind"?

edit: ok so it sounds a bit mean if you interpret it as if I'm not considering UnkleJoe to be a real human being. What I mean is, I don't think UnkleJoe is trying to get new devices to talk to his prehistoric PPC embedded system just for fun. An organisation is maintaining these systems, and that organisation is mooching off of Linux's excellent backwards compatibility. What's the economical cost of supporting that organisation, versus the economical costs of not implementing ksmbd in Rust?

I worked on the buy-side. I would make this assumption 100% of the time, 100%. Every single time I have seen a company ignore stuff like this, it has bitten them in the end. To flip this on it's head, I have also never seen a management team under pressure for failing to do something like this.

The weird thing about your viewpoint is that it gives the perception of capitalism without actually understanding anything about how businesses function. It is like the pro-capitalist government employee's understanding of capitalism. It accepts capitalism but also accepts that capitalism is evil...it is a very weird viewpoint (you also see this in the ESG departments of large fund managers...people who hate capitalism, view it as inherently unfair...but work at a fund manager, it is very 2020s).

But to spell it out: if you do not respect stakeholders other than shareholders, your business will die because no-one needs you. Your shareholders needing you is not why a business exists. A business exists because it creates value for other people. One of the biggest problems today is that corporate leaders do not understand this, and they end up losing shareholders massive amounts of money. But it is important to be very clear: Tim Cook is a wage worker, executives are wage workers, they are not business owners, they do not act like business owners, their aim is not to maximise shareholder value, their aim is to maximise their wealth. If there is ownership, it is a dual share class dictatorship, it isn't an alignment of interests.

The big problem with China is that, whether you sign deals with the govt or not, the govt needs to have direct control over businesses in order to maintain political control. We are talking about a country where large businesses have CCP officials inside the business, the red phone to the CCP in the CEO's office...business is politics, AAPL doing this deal means they are part of the CCP. The CCP don't care about your shareholders, they don't care about your employees or customers, their aim is to stay in govt and die at an old age in their bed, not violently hanging from a lamppost. That is why the govt heavily favours large businesses, that is why they have done deals with large US tech companies (MSFT is the other one, MSFT are neck deep in Chinese politics now) but it won't work.

I actually know people who are very familiar with the thinking on this at AAPL. They do not understand Chinese politics at all. They think China is just a better version of the US, more meritocratic (seriously), less political instability (again, seriously), and more accommodating to special interests (...seriously). I think the assumption people make is: AAPL understand what is going on...they do not, the reason they are doing things like this is because they don't understand (AAPL is one of the worst for this kind of thing, their executives are extremely aggressive in everything they do, they take home far more than they are worth, and they understand almost nothing outside of their business...if you look at GOOGL or AMZN, it is quite different).
> but wouldn’t auto braking be a purely safety feature, with 100% life saving potential ?

No, what if it auto-brakes at the wrong time and you get rear-ended due to the person behind you not expecting a brake spike out of nowhere?

Google is all over this -- there are at least two science-fiction level videos on YouTube of actual field experiments using ML, each with a very non-USA/third world person narrating.. the view count is in the low four digits both times

This is true!

However, there are startups around like Ghost, Matrix, who are doing all work in open-source

Also when you license under GNU, those parasites are scared off rather quickly

The truth reason more startups don't that, because they have no leverage, besides the code and/or want to protect their moat at all costs, so they can brag about "we own the IP" when investors are asking "What makes your offering uniquely possible?"

But it is complicated. Are there half a million vacant apartments whose landlords are willing to rent to homeless people for a government check? What does injecting $5.5B/yr to take vacant apartments off the market do to the already skyrocketing cost of housing? What we really need to do to solve the problem, without just making housing more expensive for everyone else, is massively increase the supply of cheap housing. But that's where all the resistance is. Because making housing affordable is in conflict with boosting the value of most voters' single largest investment.

Also, how do you qualify people for this $11B/2year program? Is it just you get free housing if you make under a certain amount of money (or no money at all)? Because I think you'd find you have a lot more applicants than the current homeless population.
IBM, Hugo Boss etc also had business to run. But for the western people Apple taking out the rainbow flag and talking about their social responsibility I'd enough.
> the wave and the force are the same thing?

Nope. This is a common misconception.

The difference between gravitational waves and gravity is a little bit like the difference between electromagnetic waves (emitted by an accelerating charge) and the electrostatic force (caused by a net charge at rest).

It's not possible to detect the effect of a charge far away, but easy to detect the propagating electromagnetic wave (light, ratio, etc).
It is -because- Apple is opposed to Open Source that they are unable to even ship a version of bash from the past 10 years out of fear of the big bad GPLv3 licensing might make them actually allow public auditing of their proprietary OS.

The Apple commitment to Open Source is mostly one direction and largely limited to cased where they have no legal choice such as GPL. They allow some contributions to happen to appease Apple engineers they want to retain, but as a whole Apple is fundamentally committed to walled gardens.

> Apple has an actual fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders.

That fiduciary responsibility meme needs to die already. The flimsiest business justification is enough to cover company leadership's ass. Instead of "We refuse to do business with China because it's immoral" they need merely say "because we believe it's in the long term strategic interests of the company."
Lane assist isn’t lane centering, it doesn’t keep your car in the middle of the lane, and just applies a small steering input if you drift out of lane.

The systems tend to be quite noisy and annoying, and also won’t keep you in lane by themselves, and they normally result in the car “ping-ponging” between the lane markers until the system gives up and stops applying input. There is nothing about these systems that would cause to actual rely on them, they’re simply too annoying and uncomfortable.
Unless you can carefully code, it's not worth pretending a script to be idempotent.

The example checks for /mnt/dev in a file but it doesn't check whether the string is in a comment or if it's part of /mnt/develop, and pretending you've achieved idempotency is dangerous unless you've gone through the effort of checking every corner case.

It's easier and safer to pretend it's not idempotent in the first place.
Interestingly both last names are written incorrectly on the cover (should have been TÜRECİ and ŞAHİN -- with a dotted capital I). Looks like a bug in the "convert to all caps" function of their publishing or design software. It can't be a font issue as they were able to print "Ğ".

You gave me my first good giggle of the day today. Oh schadenfreude, how little I knew this (in this context).
The way you've worded this makes it sound as though programmers of the era were somehow unaware of perspective mapping, which I can assure you is not the case at all. Affine texturing was a tradeoff of performance, nothing more.

Wolfenstein's correct texture mapping is due to it using raycasting in a 2D plane and rendering scaled vertical strips of texture, which just happens to be perspective correct because you only ever have surfaces at 90deg angles in the vertical.

As to why those extra triangles weren't used for detailing, it's likely because that would take up extra level data. Tessellation of an existing triangle into smaller triangles doesn't.

That's fair, I should clarify: every public is motivated by profits.

Or use some known units with it. However A-F grades also convey a good/bad that non knowledgeable people need. Is 7w.H per kg of washed clothes good for a washing machine? I don't know - but I know an A seems to be good for current models.
Yes indeed. AI research will only take a real step forward when it learns how to be creative instead of just very good at optimising simple formal systems like board games.
Either way, the capacity lowers as time goes on. Your 60 kWh battery might become 50 in a few years. The extra 15 is supposedly a buffer against that.

It’s the same thing with spinning hard drives and SSDs. The reported capacity is almost always lower than the actual capacity. That allows dead blocks to be “replaced” without the user even knowing (“remapped sectors”). Could you imagine the PR disaster if your SSD lost visible capacity as time went on?

You do have a point about the weight. The cost of shipping an SSD with 0% overprovisioning and one with 25% is negligible; the ICs weigh just a few grams. However, a car that has to haul an extra 15 kWh of unusable capacity does use extra energy. I’d be curious how much is needed to haul those extra cells.
Leaky censoring, you could still find the banned stuff. Sergey Brin was very anti-authoritarian given his background, and Google's decision to leave China was far more principled than "we have no choice". They were given a choice to comply with onerous government restrictions and decided to say no.

(And yes, the "old" Google of the Brin area is gone. I also don't think Steve Jobs would kowtow to the CCP and compromise Apple like Cook is doing. The post 2010-era is now run on bean-counter ethics)

I don't think it's just presentations or even corporate culture in general. I sell second-hand goods online, and have found that explicitly describing any defect completely torpedoes the sales process.

Were they wearing masks while working? Lead is dangerous, but outdoors and masked, the risk is low. I kind of doubt that there’s even a big risk to your kids if you’re in the next house over. The problem is fine particulates which don’t dissipate quickly in open air.
> If the wave imparts energy on an object and makes it move

The objects don't move. The space between them stretches and compresses.

Now, if the gravitational wave moves through a large massive object like a star or planet, the electromagnetic forces of the "stuff" in the object will cause it to resist this stretching or compressing. I think this does cause a very very very tiny "backreaction" to the gravitational wave, weakening it slightly.
And this is how they are able to swim so fast, as somebody will discover in the future.
Not the op your responding too, but If this bit of of code is gonna run many billions of time it could very well be worth that cost.
