> Don’t forget that reviewers made a huge deal out of the fact that CPUs downclock themselves when running AVX instructions.

It was and is kinda a huge deal. I followed the development of Corona Renderer for the past decade closely and one reoccuring theme with conflicting evidence was whether the inclusion of AVX was beneficial or detremental to performance due to resulting down clocking on certain platforms.

And surprisingly, now quickly looking through the search function, of the corona renderer forum an update apparently even dropped AVX because of better performance. ( https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php?topic=33889.msg1... ) Though I wonder if this is accurate or if the post is missing context...
You quit your job and started a blog. Wow. And then you wrote an article on your blog in a hypomanic state describing how you quit your job and started a blog. Amazing.
Thank you! I'm a bit torn on open source. On one hand, I absolutely love the freedom of open source software and I want to help support that movement too, but I don't want to deal with the burdens of being an open source maintainer (eg. what happened to faker.js). I would much rather code what I want, at my own pace, than deal with feature requests/bug reports/questions/pull requests/etc. while Quickz is still growing.

Perhaps I might consider open source in the future. It's a difficult choice.
> why democracy not only fails to contribute to stabilization but in fact destabilizes nation states

This has been known since antiquity, and is why the Founding Fathers designed not a democracy but a republic that combines elements of monarchy, oligarchy and democracy. (The three branches of government.) That we’ve forgotten this lesson is a likely contributor to the current instability.
You can collect them in the wild, at least in the mountains around Seattle. We found a bunch at some point... frankly I think they are overrated. What they really need to grow are king boletes ;)
>It's surprising to me that as a engineer you seem to be taking pride in not knowing things.

I'm not the GP, but I think this is off the mark. There's a big difference in purposefully choosing boring technology and purposefully taking pride in not knowing things.
The origins of WWII have a lot to do with they way what WWI ended. Germany was blockaded and the german people were starved until they were forced to sign a very one-sided treaty.

The holocaust, which is undeniably evil, is used to to hide all the other evils that lead up to WWII or were committed during it. This capped by the completely unnecessary nuclear bombing of Nagasaki by the US. WWII was not actually an exception, we just pretend it was.
It's very unlikely both people are performing at the same level. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses.

Whether I think it's fair or not is irrelevant, it is normal/standard practice that getting multiple offers simultaneously will increase your compensation across most or all of those offers.

And how is it against the company's interests to pay its employees a salary they'll accept?

One of the most interesting and moderately uncomfortable experiences for me was being in another country and seeing a war movie in that country’s theatres made by a director in that country

It was about a conflict I never thought about before, and also had me rooting for an anti-hero that on a side that would go on to oppose America, although acknowledgement of the US’ future involvement wasn’t even a part of the movie

Visitors and immigrants to the US must face that all the time, or dont have such nationalistic conditioning to care in the first place

In any case, the most interesting thing was how different the movie was. Like the things they focused on werent an unrealistic show of force and winning. I am enough of a film buff to put this on the specific director’s prowess, instead of culture, but I do think the surrounding culture is what helped the director greenlight working on that film.

I've been using Kagi for a couple months and generally like it. It's the default search engine in my browser.

My only complaint is that occasionally I run a search and get zero results, like the page is literally blank (I try the search again and it is still blank). I then try the search on Google and get what I'm looking for. I guess this happens because Kagi's index is smaller, but I don't really know.
> You can't trust a company to do the right thing.

I agree to some extend. But for any society to work there needs to be a minimum of good will, if companies continue pushing the boundaries of what is reasonable they are going to end breaking the system. It's very expensive and inefficient to have to be validating each action that a company does.

> therefore we need legislative restrictions to make sure their actions have no negative consequences on society.

On this I fully agree. The laws need to be adapted to the situation. Society should use the government power to make companies behave in a way that makes society better.

Hacking BIOS images isn't always that easy. Often they are signed (EFI Capsules) and the standard update utility in the BIOS menu will reject modified versions. I had to use a convoluted flashing process to make a trivial patch to a BIOS a few years back for this reason.

You joined this year? 2022?

That seems like a very short amount of time to expect complete trust.

It's pretty normal that the old team has more trust. They put in the effort to get the product where it is today.

If you plan to stick around you should put in the effort, prove your worth and gain the trust of the CTO, before challenging the status quo.
Thats what I said; the updates are volatile but the OS can't undo an update that the BIOS already applied on boot.

> autocracies are constantly prone to being overthrown from within, and from without

And this is quite fundamental to the autocratic model. Coming in #2 in a democratic contest for power means you don’t get to be President. Coming in #2 in an autocratic contest for power means losing your property, liberty and likely life. The former encourages reconciliation. The latter, challenging the outcome at all costs.
Hard to say how big a deal this is from the outside. Could be major.

Anything that delays EUV production is a big deal to everyone doing leading edge chips - there is a massive backlog on demand for EUV capable manufacturing that will be a bottleneck for volume production for everyone. I thought TSMC maybe had most of the existing machines but will need more to keep up with demand - Intel and Samsung will be wanting as many as they can get their hands on too.

The worry with this type of extremely specialist equipment manufacture is that throwing huge amounts of money (in addition to billions already spent) likely won’t resolve the recovery any quicker.

Seems maybe the industry bottleneck is not the ability to manufacture chips - it’s one level up - the single source production of facilities that make the machines that make thr chips
I saw it used a bunch in early 2000s to reference hip hop that strongly focused on class struggles, race issues, etc.

It was also used in stoner / party culture around that time to describe being in on the secret that the government was bad, capitalism was bad, etc.

Maybe directly influenced by the movie “waking life” but not sure on that. I was a stoner party kid and my memories of that time are pretty hazy. The culture was super accepting, early advocates for lgbtq before it was an acronym, etc. I also remember that group being very very accepting of everyone who had good intentions regardless of views. “___ is good people” was what we used to say. Probably why I dislike the modern version of woke so much.

Are you trying to select an answer on the host's screen? It's just a mirror of what students see that's intended to be projected on a big screen in a classroom.

Students select choices on their own devices, and the answers are reflected on the host's screen. I'll work on some sort of first time guide soon.

First, I’m going to teach you to fish. Go to hCaptcha’s website, then scroll to the footer. Click around on the about links. It’ll reveal their business model. This trick also works for other businesses and NGOs.

Now, if we look at https://www.hcaptcha.com/labeling we can tell they make money by labeling data sets for a fee. So as a guess, there’s someone out there that needs to improve computer vision detection of transportation vehicles. My guess is it’s a self driving car company, but who knows.

We have migrated a few fields from varchar to integer. How would your solution deal with this? And of course in some cases there will be data that requires manual handling.

Another one is adding foreign keys where the existing data does not conform to the foreign key constraint.

C Ain't Dead (2020)
I think it is telling that in this exceptionally long set of bullet points, almost nowhere does the author have a perspective of the end user or goals of the software.

Aside from the ambiguous "get stuff done" and the bullet point around learning from past failures, every piece of advice is internally-focused. "Here are the best way to get those TPS reports done." "How to leverage the experience of the best TPS report creators." "How to understand the TPS report process in your company." etc.

Never once a comment on the analogous "should we be doing TPS reports?"

Effective engineers, as per the title of the article, are those able to build software that does the right stuff. It fundamentally isn't about whether or not work was able to be accomplished within the constraints of a company. (What if the company's structure is dysfunctional and you adding yet another checkbox is killing the product?)

Likewise, the insistence that ICs don't need to worry about these larger concerns because managers will is misplaced: every time an IC reinforces a dysfunctional structure, it makes it just that much harder for managers or more senior technical ICs to reform anything.

We rarely hear, it has been said, of the combinations of masters, though frequently of those of workmen. But whoever imagines, upon this account, that masters rarely combine, is as ignorant of the world as of the subject. Masters are always and everywhere in a sort of tacit, but constant and uniform combination, not to raise the wages of labour above their actual rate. . . We seldom, indeed, hear of this combination, because it is the usual, and one may say, the natural state of things, which nobody ever hears of.

That's the point. Instead of worrying about whether you're accessing a related attribute, join everything and evaluate the QuerySet before passing it to context.

You'll never have to worry about whether {{ pizza.topping.name }} is hitting the database ever again, especially, if you install django-zen-queries because it will raise an exception if you try to.
This was possible on most motherboards at launch.

Now however, Intel has issued a BIOS update that no longer allows enabling AVX-512 when the Gracemont cores are disabled.

The motherboards produced from now on will have the new BIOS version.

Keeping the original BIOS on the existing Alder Lake motherboards is not a good choice, because the new BIOS version also improves stability in certain memory configurations.

Why dont we like Peter Theil? A couple of interesting things and people have come out of the Theil fellowship

That's what I'm saying. I recognise that's not what the law was intended to do.

The problem is that individuals and small businesses would rather interpret the law in a way that isn't going to get them in trouble, even if it is over-reaching. There has been a level of paranoia stirred up, caused by other companies interpreting the law badly.

It's like staying away from all bodies of water because someone sometime drowned while swimming in the sea. It's a vast overreaction, but it works.

In short, we have lots of armchair lawyers giving idiot-in-a-hurry interpretations, and everyone is doing it wrong because everyone is scared of doing it wrong.

They had also administered manual CPR which had kept my brain supplied with oxygen at the cost of two broken ribs

I did CPR on an elderly man I found having a heart attack in an alley in London. He was conscious when I found him. I called 999 and stayed with him. He "died" in front of me (no pulse, breathing, motion, loss of urine control). I did CPR until the ambulance arrived; I remember the sound of breaking ribs very clearly. They used a defib on him and he survived and until I moved away from the area I'd see him walking around from time to time.

Was a slightly odd feeling seeing him because I literally saw him "stop".
I'm guessing you've just uploaded your crypto wallet? It's generally good practice to encrypt sensitive files first before uploading with something like GPG or Cryptomator, no online storage service is 100% safe and it depends entirely on your threat model on what you consider "safe".

I don't see how it is possible to be aware of such efforts and then not question any of the ongoing narratives.
The narratives are getting worse and worse as time goes, and so we see the consensus-engineering shifting away from the narratives themselves to polarization.
So instead of believing in your narrative, you reject the others because "they are embraced by bad people who also embrace other bad narratives".
The different government programs to make people unable to distinguish disinformation and propaganda etc are also well-known around.

Lets compare it to all the other options, shall we? Perfect is the enemy of good, and your uncompromising way of doing things (including not loading microcode 'because it is closed source') is, to put it simple: harmful. And unusual, as well (its not a dealbreaker for many people). The laptop is modular and repairable, just like a Fairphone is modular and repairable. Its a great step forward and, while not perfect and possibly a reason to not buy it, a minor detail for most people. If we should follow FSF's principles we would not be able to load microcode to fix Spectre 'because it is proprietary' like Trisquel apparently does. Meanwhile, Librem 5 delivers awful performance, and Pinephone offer 30 days warranty. Both have killswitches though: great feature. Again, perfect is the enemy of good. Because if killswitches are a requirement for you, then these are about your two options. If a modular laptop is a requirement for you, you are bound to what? Old Thinkpads?
The hidden secret is the life - the oppressive discrimination - many minorities, especially black persons, have been experiencing for generations, without most white people being aware of it. When you take that red pill, when you are open to the facts, it is shocking what has been happening right under our noses. You can't unsee it. A simple suggestion: Just talk about it with people who are black; if you don't know many, you can see how the blue pill world is created.

> Woke in my experience is more used to describe progressive people and their opinions

Like any hot cultural term, it has become loaded with plenty of other meaning. However, to a degree I think you are talking about the reactionaries' use of the word, which they have adopted to politicize it - to use their endless (and successful) rhetorical technique of attacking the messenger; of saying 'it's just liberals' to shift the discussion from the actual problem, racism. For example, you can see the same technique used for climate change.

Whose face to you mean? The person being deadnamed, or the person reading the list of names and realizing the person opposite them is trans?

It seems to me that, for the purposes of understanding your legal history it makes sense to keep track of someone's deadname at such an agency. If someone accrued massive debt (or massive positive credit) under their deadname, then that still reflects on them. It sucks to have it recorded that one is trans, or to hear a deadname, but I don't see how it can be avoided.

to be fair, that's unavoidable with AVX-512, you can't underestimate how much power it draws compared to non-vectorised instructions.

The BIOS itself comes with microcode. You upgrade your BIOS for whatever reason and it comes with new microcode applied on boot, which you can't disable. Sure, if you don't upgrade your BIOS you can keep using the old microcode. But you might have to to fix bugs or improve performance.
It depends on the kinds of applications you want to write. Web has a more limited (but growing) feature set, and its distribution system is phenomenal.
