The equivalent in SaaS would be something like saying you had a single non-distributed non-sharded table RDBMS technology that could perform equivalent at 10 billion records on full ACID as well as Postgres could on 100K records. You have no such thing. No one knows how to make such a thing. It would require a breakthrough in software at Turing award level. You should get slapped with charges if you take investor money claiming such a thing.

Well, it's not that simple, but I'm happy to argue that you can consider machine code the real interface to the hardware, not the undocumented microarchitectural uops.

The translation to macro and micro ops is done in silicon, hardcoded, with the exceptions of instructions that may need to read from MSROM, and the patching system that ucode updates have. That's a small percentage of instructions executed.

And because all of that is hidden from the software, it's not something you can interract with, and it changes with the CPU model. It's internal details, not the external interface (despite some people really writing the machine code specifically with some uop sequence in mind :) )

I'm not sure FPGAs are really the same concept, though. Even if they're reconfigurable, I still consider them hardware, not software code. After all you write FPGA code in HDL :)
Can rotting potatoes not be used in building soil? It won't be profitable, but its better than landfilling... what is the manner of disposal anyway?
I think Macintosh Repository does the same thing, just trying to avoid any legal issues by posting mostly abandonware. That being said; there’s a lot of commercial software there.
I surely can't be the only one who finds it really weird that copyright lengths depend on the author's lifespan? Copyrights act as a sort of financial instrument that can be bought and sold. Imagine suggesting an office space lease that lasted for X years following the death of some specific named person. Everyone would think you are insane! But if it is the rights to a book, now everyone acts like an author's life expectancy should reasonably be a factor the term that any subsequent owner can hold the rights for their book

The entire world has been blanketed in Coronavirus and as far as I know Africa has seen a mix of action that has been different from how Western countries have experienced it. The rates of infection are different, the rates of vaccination are different. Two VOCs have come out of South Africa, but who's to say that an earlier version from 2020 wasn't bumping around the continent and returned to South Africa?

Everyone likes to posit human intervention when we have very little information, especially people highly motivated to declare COVID-19 a lab leak for geopolitical reasons. Give the science time and we might start to fill in the gaps.
Author here. Strace seems to add more overhead than I realized at the time, but not quite as much overhead as you suggest. For instance, you're measuring the time it takes to run strace itself, while my blog post uses the times from strace's output (i.e. excluding strace's own startup/shutdown costs). The overhead of `strace -tt` output seems much lower than `time strace -tt` on my testbed, but it's still not as good as `perf trace`.

(Also note that this was written in 2015. These days spectre/meltdown CPU mitigations make the kernel <-> userspace switch more expensive, which likely has an even bigger effect on strace. PTRACE_SYSCALL requires a thread-blocking context switch chain like (proc -> kern -> strace -> kern -> proc) for every syscall.)

I've reproduced my test conditions with `perf trace` below. My relative improvements seem to hold, and I stand by my suggestion that a no-libc solution would easily top the leaderboard. My level0-glibc solution placed #6 (3729/4048 = 92% of the #1 score): https://web.archive.org/web/20140210000314/https://stripe-ct...

It's been enough years and I don't have the original test machine. I cobbled together a similar testbed using a faster machine from that era and the same OS base (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS). Here are a handful of `perf trace` runs comparing: glibc dynamic/static empty binaries, my actual level0 solution as both glibc dynamic/static, and my level0 solution under lib43. I also show timings when using /dev/null as a no-op input for each level0 implementation.

It doesn't have to be illegal but I think some defensive regulation here is smart. Things people are concerned about may already be illegal. Imitation, identity theft, slander and so on. Think about the new layer it adds to domestic disputes and criminal investigations.

Perhaps a solution is a sound fingerprint requirement for voice imitation software so that it's easily identifiable in court if it's an imitation voice.

It's somewhat of a new frontier, imagine during a divorce proceeding your ex-partner fabricates voice recordings of you threatening the kids so you don't get custody, how do you protect yourself against that, how to you prove that's what happened? Soon enough it'll just be an app on their phone that they use to record your voice during a discussion, then later spits out a sound file of you saying whatever they want you to say. That's clearly a socially dangerous tool.

They're legally required to do their best to maintain operation and profit at as high a level is legally allowed. If employees or management try to turn it off, they get fired and replaced. YouTube is too big to fail, and heads would roll at Alphabet if there was a serious attempt to shut it down.

Publicly traded companies serving as de facto public squares for hundreds of millions of people are a recent phenomena which societies are ill equipped to regulate. Let's hope things get better.
Thankfully that probability decreases exponentially as you add synchronizer stages, which is what you do for clock domain crossing :-). Two synchronizer stages will give you an MTBF on the order of the square of the age of the universe, by one ballpark calculation I found. This obviously goes down as you do it in parallel many times, but still, we're pretty safe here in practice.

I clearly remember having modified/written an FPGA logic analyzer that ended up entering impossible logic lockup states after a few minutes/seconds (Hardware, crashing? What?)... that was when I learned about metastability. Some synchronizers took care of the problem.
Latacora | Secops Engineering Manager, Security Architect | Remote | Full-Time

Why do security at a startup when you can come do security for all the startups? :-)

Secops Engineering Manager role:

Full details including the hiring process here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vS96rfuiTKFIo2Y0...

The SecOps team is responsible for protecting customers’ infrastructure. It builds systems that give us insights into Cloud environments, external network attack surface, platforms (e.g., Kubernetes), and the deployment systems that connect these to the rest of our clients’ development lifecycles. It’s a combination of software engineering, provisioning, orchestration, automation, and analytics.

The Engineering Manager will work on managing the day to day of delivery for the SecOps team as well as work on the long-term vision to expand the team’s capabilities. In addition to delivery-focused security engineers, this team has embedded software engineers dedicated to improving the processes and tools.

This position is remote, but we do think you need to work US timezones to be successful. We can, however, hire internationally, so Canadian, Mexican... applicants are all welcome :-)

Security Architect role:

I know the title can be intimidating, but “security architect” but we take it’s a very broad definition here; “security generalist” might be a better summary. We get to work with the all the “weird” questions from our clients, the things that fall between or cut across our more established practice areas.

100% remote (US-ish time zones though), tons of autonomy and flexibility to define the role in a way that fits you. And our clients are really cool, you’ll get to see some neat things.

Not to defeat your point, but $0.42/watt is considered a bit too expensive nowadays (unless, it includes shipping).

The regular price for monocrystalline silicon solar panels is around $0.21/watt on Alibaba ([1]), not including shipping from China (which may vary, depends on the volume, destination and current rates).

Elemental fluorine is nasty toxic, but it doesn’t really pollute the environment because it’s too busy oxidizing the first thing it finds and forming a never gonna let you go bond.
Hydrofluoric acid, though I don't think it melts your bones in a dramatic/fast way. It seems to be partially so dangerous because it doesn't "burn" right away, and as you say, is absorbed quickly in skin. So you might not rinse it off quickly.

"Piranha solution" (sulfuric acid, water, and hydrogen peroxide) is closer to what tv/movies portray hydrofluoric acid being like. That is, being able to disappear a body in it.
Interesting experiments, I believe the video got the purpose of the cornstarch wrong however and by conducting the experiment in a slightly different way may produce a better end product.

When refining materials such as metals the cornstarch's main purpose is to provide a medium to collect the excess oxygen driven off the materials from heating through the burning of the starch which from my understanding tends to more readily bind with oxygen and prevent it from binding with the target materials. Likewise the borate is used to produce a glass like top layer to prevent atmospheric oxygen from entering the mold during the melting process. I believe a higher temperature is required and that makes the paper TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, however a less homogenized mixture with stratified layers of borax above and silicon carbide below while constrained within a canister or cone mold and firing at the higher temperature of 1000C as the video creator claims he did experiment with in the end, would produce a much better result .

It may even be possible to envelope the object in an inert gas when firing and eliminate the borax all together.

Assembly languages aren't even defined for the platform, they're defined for the compilers (more technically, the assemblers). There aren't even standard assemblers, almost every compiler will roll their own (including VMs and JITs).

Intel vs AT&T syntax just standardize a few conventions, AT&T requiring more explicitness (and of course, flipping the position of source/destination operands).
You might find the work of David Gelernter (computer scientist) interesting. He's not a creationist, but he has abandoned the theory of evolution.

> Suppose, then, that every bacterium that has ever lived contributes one mutation before its demise to the history of life. This is a generous assumption; most bacteria pass on their genetic information unchanged, unmutated. Mutations are the exception. In any case, there have evidently been, in the whole history of life, around 10^40 bacteria—yielding around 10^40 mutations under Axe’s assumptions. That is a very large number of chances at any game. But given that the odds each time are 1 to 10^77 against, it is not large enough. The odds against blind Darwinian chance having turned up even one mutation with the potential to push evolution forward are 10^40x(1/10^77)—10^40 tries, where your odds of success each time are 1 in 10^77—which equals 1 in 10^37. In practical terms, those odds are still zero. Zero odds of producing a single promising mutation in the whole history of life.

You would expect a paper by Freitas, Merkle, and Moses to remind you of Drexler, wouldn't you? I mean Freitas and Merkle are from the Zyvex crew, not that their nanotech work began there. I had no idea Moses had even coauthored with those guys.

Recently graduated, have been working as a Machine Learning Engineer for the past few months at a Fintech company that provides BNPL(Buy Now Pay Later) financing. I am looking for jobs that would allow me to work with people who are well versed in the field of Machine Learning Engineering or to an extent Data Engineering. Although I am a recent graduate I consider myself a quick learner and my passion to get my hands dirty in data ensures that I would perform my jobs with due diligence and interest. My communication skills have been praised by my peers and my ability to work under pressure ensures that the task gets done no matter what.
I also have experience in building MERN stack web apps and mobile applications using React Native but I'd really prefer something Python and ML based.
Thank you for reading.
Are y'all sunsetting Ruby completely as you break apart the monolith?
I'm not sure the best way to judge the quality of a scientific argument is whether it 'feels like good science.'

While the author is obviously only scratching the surface in an article targetted at non-scientists, the several PhDs he cites make decent arguments that are based on a little more than feelings. It would probably be more in line with the ideal of 'good science' to actually investigate the possibilities presented than dismiss them from emotional associations.

It is a worrying trend that the way science feels is increasingly more important than the actual evidence (or lack thereof). One could even describe the current attitude towards science outside of scientitific institutions as religious.
its kinda becoming like an entry in a website called 'what white people like'
> Why don’t any other characters have to explain what makes them unique from the rest

They do. Geralt has a huge back story that explains why he's ripped and has a bunch of scars and why every peasant is afraid of him. Yennefer has a huge back story that explains why she's beautiful. If they casted someone ugly as Yennefer then that backstory wouldn't exactly apply anymore would it?

> I would say Black Panther is a story about blackness

Let's use another example then. Narcos - if some Asian guy was the one who auditioned best as Pablo Escobar, would you think that's good casting? Narcos is clearly not about Colombian culture, it's about the War on Drugs. If all the random cartel members are casted as Latino but the leader is Asian you think that's good casting? Or if we look at House of Cards - what if you replaced Garret Walker with a Korean dude. You think that's good casting?

> why does race need to be explained

Because one character is different from all the other people in their supposed race (Nilfgaardian). If there was a character that was taller than everyone in their kingdom I'd expect that to be explained too. Or if the character was white and everyone else was not.

> Growing up my class was all white, except one black kid

That's great, but completely irrelevant in this case. You are trying to impose your own social justice values on a high fantasy TV show. Ironically I find it's always white dudes in their 20s and 30s that have this view of the world. I bet you're white, male, a millennial or Gen Z, you live in a big city, and you work in tech.

With the odds of any payoff objectively so low and so distant, it's very hard even to motivate long-term persistent effort.

Realistically it makes little difference whether one tries long-shots vs. just passively wait for something to change about the environment.

The ports only care about inbound cargo, not outbound empties. So they have no incentive to have enough space for empties.

The surge demand has suddenly depleted the free spots is removed until its a trickle. Then you get this result. The ships are stuck because the ports had no incentive to reserve space for empties.

Or, something like bufferbloat.
I don’t think those things are mutually exclusive or that anyone is saying “don’t do the thing” or “don’t be aware of what others are doing”.

Do these satellites automatically correct for orbital decay (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_decay) and collision avoidance or does that require commands from the ground?

So, how long will these satellites stay up there without ground control?

Whether that is the case or not, we are talking about the remnants of a sentient being that went through a stage of its biological life willingly. Besides being more an insect than an animal, it's not like this is similar to asking a vegetarian to eat roadkill or an animal that died of natural causes, which wouldn't be healthy or conventional anyway.

If some are taking it this far, would they be opposed to eating apples from a tree that was fertilized by the remnants of a decomposed animal?
I took the leap.

The English->Portuguese sample sounded nothing like me at all except for one syllable where it sounded like it was playing back a brief snip of what I had recorded.

The English->French version did a little bit better, it sounded like the voice had been influenced by mine in some small way.

English->English (saying a very different sentence to what I recorded) was pretty impressive though.
