It's certainly not blitzkrieg, more blyatzkreig. The western belief was 72 hours to complete. He didn't even make 400 hours, it lost momentum. The materiel by volume and age does not speak well of supply chain logistics. There is no rational plan of battle which puts your weakest armour first.

He's lost the media war facing westward, India and China are temporising friends at best. Inward media is paper thin maintaining "the Ukrainian nazi" story, it's leaking like a sieve. Mobile crematorium won't bring conscripts home any better than body bags, so belief in a victory worth winning is dying on the vine.

Other articles have spoken to systematic corruption in petrol and tyres: these ones haven't been rotated and checked in storage, are cheap import knockoffs and look like a huge mistake.

I still think a repression/occupation is going to materialise in at least part of Ukraine but the outcome is not net advantageous to Putin medium to long term.

It's at best stalemate with adjusted borders.

> Validation errors are errors and network failures are errors, but they’re very different animals and should never be conflated.

These seem like conflicting views. If the HTTP status is all you check you must be conflating application/operation status and network status.

> I don’t want to read a time stamp if that time stamp is simply a property of the request. However if the time stamp is a property of the data, then I care - but then it shouldn’t be part of the metadata.

Sure -- I'd like to say that I think the disagreement here boils down to this question: should metadata be represented in data responses.

Correct me if I'm reading you incorrectly, but it seems like you're arguing that metadata should not be represented in the response, only data. I'd argue that the in-practice and academic standards dictate the opposite, with standards like hypermedia, json schema, HAL, JSON:API, OpenAPI, etc.

If it's just a question about the degree of metadata that should be present then that's one thing, but it sounds like you're against it in general. Once you have any metadata you must have an envelope of some sort, by definition (whether it's a good or bad one), as far as I can see.

Russia is doing nothing to minimize civilian casualties. I've made three trips to Ukraine, spent about three weeks total in Eastern Kharkiv in a residential neighborhood with nothing but apartment buildings, shopping, schools, and restaurants, and the utter destruction I have seen of sights I have known has been heartbreaking.

Russia's internal propaganda controls are so good that in the early days, two mothers we know refused to believe their sons' reports of being bombed in Kharkiv. Since then, this has become a wider reported story. Our Russian friends in the US have come over to video chat with their relatives back in Russia to convince them of the indiscriminate bombing of civilian areas. And they have not believed. Or at least they are too embarrassed to admit that they have been fooled by propaganda.

Russia will likely deploy chemical weapons in Ukraine as they lose, just as they have elsewhere. There is no humanity, no rules, among their commanders and Putin. And they have suffered zero consequences for their war crimes in the past.

You are saying two very different things here. The stuff that we make today is built on millennia of knowledge - obviously it won't be trivial to understand or fix. That's not a problem - unless you want to force everyone back to the stone age.

Your second point is valid, a lot of stuff is shipped with stuff that isn't useful for end consumer or even anti consumer outright. The solution to this is to push for right to repair laws, patent reform, open source, etc and not decry modern technology altogether.
There's a document in there about pointer masking: https://github.com/riscv/riscv-j-extension/blob/master/point...

It seems like the objective of this is to implement different access privileges... but why do you need specialized instructions for this? This is typically done by the OS and memory protection. The pointer masking extension would be to have multiple levels of privilege within a single process? I'm assuming that this is to protect the JIT from a JITted program? Except it's not completely safe, because there might still be bugs in the JIT that could allow messing with the pointer tags. Struggling to think of a real use case.

I have almost 2 years of professional work experience - I've worked at a few startups and across the stack, and most recently in infrastructure.

I'm looking to join an early-stage startup (Seed or Series A) and help build out your product.

No recruiters please.
Are there any open source version of such tool?
"There is already a living example of a custom Apple-designed external graphics card. Apple designed and released Afterburner, a custom "accelerator" card targeted at video editing with the gen 3 Mac Pro in 2019.
Afterburner has attributes of the new Apple Silicon design in that it is proprietary to Apple and fanless. [3]
It seems implausible Apple created the Afterburner product for a single release without plans to continue to upgrade and extend the product concept using Apple Silicon."

---

You don't understand what Afterburner is, and as a result have read far too much significance into it, and haven't noticed that they've already moved on even before the new Mac Pro is out.

Afterburner isn't a "graphics card". It's just a FPGA on a PCIe x16 expansion card. Although in principle you could download an arbitrary bitstream to the FPGA and use it for a really wide variety of purposes, in practice Apple uses it for exactly one function: accelerating ProRes. That's Apple's proprietary low-loss video codec designed for use in video editing software, most notably their own Final Cut package.

They needed Afterburner in the Intel Mac Pro because they didn't want to burn CPU cores on a software ProRes codec, and none of the silicon available in the Intel/AMD/Nvidia ecosystem offers a hardware ProRes codec.

They don't need Afterburner in Apple Silicon Macs because they simply integrated a ProRes codec into M1 Pro/Max/Ultra. I wouldn't be surprised if they were able to share a lot of source code between the two implementations. The M1 version is lots faster than the Afterburner version, which isn't surprising when you know about the penalties FPGAs pay for being reprogrammable in the field.

I suspect the M1 Pro/Max/Ultra project came first, and the Afterburner port was a quick side project. To me, it's not implausible that it's a dead end, instead that's just about all it can be.

Ok, I said this elsewhere: FJCVTZS is not special, and while JS may have been a motivating factor, the actual behavior is "emulate the x86 double->int conversion"

There is nothing magic about it.

A more correct name for FJCVTZS would be FXCVTZS. What FJCVTZS does is override the default FPU rounding and signaling results for double to integer conversion to match the x86 behaviour. There is no special logic needed in the FPU, all that happens is instead of the instruction passing the current thread FPU rounding and clamping flags, it passes the flags that exactly match x86 behaviour.

That's it.

Because the JS label is inaccurate everyone believes it to be useless outside of js, when in reality it's useful to anything that needs x86 behavior for double->int conversion, so any x86 emulators on arm (Qemu, presumably the translation runtimes, etc).

God I hate that they named it that.
> My understanding

Correct. The current zero point energy is believed to be a false vacuum (local minimum). One of the end-of-the-universe scenarios involve it tunelling to a lower state (bubble nucleation). Things become progressively more dire the lower the energy of the next (false or real) vaccum is, including matter and gravity ceasing to exist. Not only does this sound a lot like "no information at absolute zero," it is also a terrifying existential crisis (you're welcome).
Thank you. Could you please also elaborate on this part.

> Additionally DXC can be used to generate SPIR-V which can then be used either with the Vulkan runtime or, through SPIR-V cross, converted to GLSL or Metal Shader Language for use with their respective APIs.

Is it like saying HSLS can be converted to GSLS or Metal Shaders by converting it to some intermediate representation first?

The dice roll thing reminded me I wrote a small multi dice roll visualization in flash that took (x) repetition of (y) dice rolls and added them together in bar charts for each repeated sum of values. I was stunned how it was flat when there was only one dice but started to look like a bell curve as the number of dice increased.

Later on when I took a statistics class and learned about CLT and normal distributions it really helped to have this intuitive understanding of how multiple uniformly distributed variables combined result in a normal distribution. (and probably why the bell curve distribution shape is so common for real world data)

yeah, calendar manipulation is trickier than it looks. If you use day-of-week, you have an odd number of days. If you use day of month, many months have an odd number. If you use day of year (%j), most years have an odd number.

There's many such examples - every 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 hours works - but every 5 hours doesn't. But every 2 days and every 14 days are requirements I've met IRL.
Sounds similar to claims about the Ukranian medical research labs.

Yes, my issues are:

1. your idea probably isn't post-scarcity, you've just forgotten that the goods/services you want to automate have inputs themselves that still cost something.

2. if robots are smart enough to produce everything for us, they're probably human-level intelligent, could be customers instead of producers themselves, and so you've actually rediscovered slavery.

> The type of batteries in Magic Mouse 2 provides a range of voltages as they are being used, from about 3.5v to 4.2. No matter which value you choose, it’s still more energy than your inferior batteries.

The capacity is rated based off of the listed voltage though. And even if they do have a larger capacity it isn't a massive difference.

> This discussion is pointless, you’re just rehashing a tired argument that is completely obvious to anyone and in their design Apple chose to ignore it and that’s all that matters.

But it is a valid argument.

> It wouldn’t even surprise me if Apple chose to ignore it just to give the typical armchair design crowd something to philosophize about. They are never going to buy the products anyway so they are a lost cause.

Hmm, I actually kind of lied when I said I haven't bought any Apple products. I have, I just don't have any recent models, I own the iPad 1, iPad 2 and iPad 3. All three are still functional to this day. Again, I don't avoid Apple just because they are Apple, I avoid them because their design flaws outweigh the benefits of purchasing them for me.

Plus, aren't we all "armchair designers" around here?
No, I don't think NATO would first strike with nukes. Russia either for that matter, although I am slightly less certain now that they have less to loose.

Nukes are good for ensuring MAD, but don't stop conventional wars,insurgencies, and geopolitics.

This is why every nuclear armed country also has a conventional military. Nukes don't make them obsolete.

Like you said, counties don't want to fire fist. This holds true if if Russia were to invade Poland, or NATO were to invade Russia, so you are back to square one. A good old conventional standoff.
It's gross combined weight rating (GCWR), not the actual vehicle weight. It's the same thing here in TN too. You register a truck based on the max weight you'll load in it or combined weight with the truck and trailer. The higher the weight, the more you pay.
For electric power it’s an especially tricky physics problem; you can’t overproduce power, or things will just blow up. Grid operators must perfectly balance supply and demand at every moment of every day and electricity moves at the speed of light, so the electricity powering your lights was a hunk of coal or a gust of wind within the last nanosecond.

large scale batteries could make the jobs of grid operators like me soo much easier.
I think @roughly provided a good balance of practicality + optimism in their answer.

My thoughts: Not immediately, but yes, eventually. Humans have an innate willingness and desire to tinker+make things. Those qualities have gone into hibernation due to the vast array of mass-manufactured, off-the-shelf devices in the last decade. But many (have and will) come to realize that the satisfaction ceiling is so much higher when you build something yourself, getting your hands dirty, and looking at the product of your efforts.

Just that reason is enough to give rebirth to the experimental/inventive attitude that pervaded the 20th century. But there's also the fact that a personalized something can allow you to do stuff that a typical consumer product couldn't.

Pockit just aims to enable and accelerate the above realization for hardware, the way that libraries and frameworks have done for the programming world.

> None of the points you mentioned are present in any Charter/Convention which Countries signed up to when joining the United Nations. None of it is "permissible".

Article 1, section 1 is

> To maintain international peace and security, and to that end: to take effective collective measures for the prevention and removal of threats to the peace, and for the suppression of acts of aggression or other breaches of the peace, and to bring about by peaceful means, and in conformity with the principles of justice and international law, adjustment or settlement of international disputes or situations which might lead to a breach of the peace;

Which to me seems to suggest consensus measures to 'remove threats to the peace' and 'suppression of acts of aggression', or in other words, if the UN Security Council says it's cool, it's cool.

If you read further, article 42 explicitly authorizes use of force as may be necessary:

> Should the Security Council consider that measures provided for in Article 41 would be inadequate or have proved to be inadequate, it may take such action by air, sea, or land forces as may be necessary to maintain or restore international peace and security. Such action may include demonstrations, blockade, and other operations by air, sea, or land forces of Members of the United Nations.

> Everything else is vague. What you call as genocide might be a revolution for someone else. What you call terrorism might be a fight for independence for someone else.

Yeah, but good luck codifying anything of that nature. You can take an absolutist stance and say even in such times, the territorial integrity is paramount. Or you could say, you can only violate territorial integrity if you're invited in --- but then it becomes a question of who is qualified to invite. Should a genocide be permitted because it's done by the lawful government of the territory? (I mean, sometimes they are; I'm not arguing that past history of intervention or non-intervention was perfect or even good, just that it followed something like rules)

That's why it's best if you can get UNSC sign off on invasions, because then it's clear it was permissible. But, if you go in, claiming it's justified and the world community disagrees with you, they can go to the UNSC to repremand you (unless you're one of the permanent members, in which case you're beyond reproof, whoops).
Is there? My understanding is that the widely held belief was that they didn't have fine grained emotions that were comparable to our own. So far this research doesn't change that, but might lay the ground work for exploring that further.
The phrase "for Russia" seems inappropriate. You mean for Putin. And... maybe? I'm not convinced. Even Stalin had to regularly kill off the people around him to maintain power.
Artillery are far less of a concern now than chemical weapons. Russia is laying the groundwork to say that Ukraine is using chemical weapons on its own people, which means that in actuality Russia will be using them and blaming Ukraine of a false flag attack:
