>> Hyperthreading does in general share units (both ALU and others); that's what hyperthreading is.

Yes, I think the issue with Eigen is cache related. They apparently have optimizations that are aware of cache architecture and running 2 threads that share the same cache will screw that up, resulting in more misses. If this is the case, I'd prefer algorithms that are cache line size agnostic. It is still much faster than the simple hand-written code we had before!
> "Are Universities and corporations responsible for the speech, views, and research of their professors and employees?"

Corporations have been liable for the behavior of their employees when acting in their official capacity, for ages. How is this surprising? Otherwise, software professionals like you and I would be personally liable for bugs that harm others.

The misbehaving college employees should have declared (or should have been required to declare by the college) that their actions were in an individual capacity, not as a representative of the college, and absorbed the full penalty of the ruling as individuals as a consequence of their actions.
This was reversed in the appeals court, then upheld by the Supreme Court. It demonstrates how out of sync with reality the justice system is.
That needs to be proven with evidence. There isn't any proof.

I haven't read this book, but I did recently read Eric Kaplan's "The Bomb", he goes into detail the decision processes of the US nuclear response and how much it changed (or didn't!) throughout all of the presidents
It’s over for fossil fuels: IPCC report
What is “neutral”? As I see it your target 3 different things here.

To be honest interpolation is something that will be ripe for abuse by actors like 4Chan just because they can. I’m not seeing a way to ensure the banning of users while allowing interoperability that isn’t solved already by email.

If the solution to this is to not allow the banning of users, then how does one combat things such as child porn, revenge porn, etc.
Is this any more "scummy" than Peña blaming the police for not stopping him when he was clearly breaking the law? He's not directly blaming the police for his injury but the implication is clear as day. If they would have cited him for breaking the law, he would not have been injured. He goes so far as to claim they saw him and knew he was breaking the law.
Historically, I think the answer is even scarier: the Dead Hand system presupposes that a centralized power is necessary to start nuclear war, the American system has been to delegate that power to regional and even theater-level military commanders (particularly in the bomber days, when sending orders to the Pacific theater was never going to work in the necessary timescale). It makes sense from a game theory perspective--if the commander-in-chief was literally the only person with strategic command authority, an assassination could render the entire country vulnerable to an unopposed first strike.

An airfield on the northern edge of Japan is close enough to Russian airspace that, at alert, the local airfield commander was going to have to make the call to sortie their bombers while the runways were still intact, and once deployed it wasn't unimaginable that a Dr. Strangelove-style scenario could go down.

It's been a few years, but I think this was mostly detailed in The Doomsday Machine by Daniel Ellsberg.
The root cause here is generally terrible infrastructure for anything besides cars. Accounting for the human factor (driving while intoxicated, medical emergencies while driving such as stroke or heart attacks, …), I understand why most people would rather ride on side walks, especially if it’s not in a downtown area with speeds above 30 mph.

If the United States would claw back their car culture and tendency to scale horizontally. Quality of life ruining or death causing accidents like this would fall significantly.
Sure, if you're operating under the assumption that a) he understands geo-politics and global defense better than the leadership of his country and b) he has better and more real-time information (than the leadership) about the situation on the ground in Iraq/Afghanistan at the time.

If he thought what they were doing over there in 2007 was morally/ethically indefensible and decided to join up anyway then, yes, judge away.

Probably more straightforward to lay the blame squarely where it's due, at those who made the high level decisions to engage in the war in the first place, especially in the context of the outcomes of said war.
I wonder what the breakdown of costs are after SS disability and Medicare.

I do agree that costs at a case level could be lower without litigation, but I wonder what the overall cost would come out to. Basically, someone's paying for the care, but the question is how does, or what, shuffling of which bucket it comes out of will be beneficial?
> Do you really believe that "style" requires entire new syntax

Well it depends what you mean by entirely new, the syntax is that of a stylesheet. If we didn't have external stylesheets then maybe it wouldn't make sense to have a style attribute? but we do, so there seems to be some some logic for why we have an attribute that mimics it.

Not really sure if this is a worthwhile conversation to be honest as you seem to want this to be much more antognistic than it needs to be.

Good luck in your quest.
I also think there is a second human stage after the system has been activated.

From my understanding after Dead Hand is armed with the access codes it goes into a monitoring state.

Until all conditions are met nothing happens but upon losing its links to all nuclear commands -and- it detects that a nuclear strike has landed on Soviet soil only then does it provide nuclear arming codes to the staff of the Dead Hand control bunker.

These poor souls then make the decision to end humanity or not by launching the control missiles which will activate all automated nuclear weapons, transmit authorizations to bombers and submarines etc - which too will have humans that need to make the call if they want to take part in the apocalypse.

Though AFAICT Russia still has enough land based ICBMs to level every major city on earth and all of those are probably 100% automated so I don't think the poor airmen/seamen will have to worry too much about their conscience no matter which choice they make.
One option is the thing we used to have: private displays of virtue in distributed systems.

When Reddit is hosting racists, it's easy to blame Reddit (and, more specifically, easy to put pressure on them to deny those users a forum on Reddit's servers). When such content is on a distributed, federated system, it's up to individual service providers how much of a tolerance they'll have for speech others consider completely unacceptable. Some will choose not to host it, some will perhaps choose to host it (and others can choose to peer with them or not)... But in general, there will be more variety of opinions represented in what is "acceptable behavior" when there are many distributed systems instead of a few centralized ones. This does, of course, increase the complexity of accessing them...

... honestly, this probably mirrors societal development as a whole. In a town of frontiersmen, you barely have enough time to worry about what goes on in your neighbor's house. In a city, where you can hear your neighbor through the walls (and have deeply-intertwined interdependency networks through which pressure can be applied), you both have more reason to care and more tools to pressure someone to conform.

... all of that having been said, to take a step back from the mechanical and consider the philosophical, I'm not sure it's an inherently virtuous thing that my frontier neighbor could be out there doing Texas Chainsaw Massacre stuff and there's little structural pressure that can be applied to get him to cut it out...

Not too much people have such opportunity.
He'd drunk 750ml of cognac. Cedars noted he was under influence and smelled of marijuana. I think he'd stopped at a weed shop at 11AM or so on day of accident.

He was going downhill on a sidewalk covered by trash. It's actually not totally clear the sidewalk issue was cause of accident. He hit a tree parallel to the uplift, the city wonders how that was possible, if he hit the uplift and pitched forward it would be weird to hit a tree parallel to the uplift. There were other issues on the hill (trash etc).

There had been no service records to fix sidewalk in 10 year search by city.

Smoking weed impairs you. He smelled of weed and stopped at a cannabis store. Even ignoring all this, he accelerated down this hill, never applied the brakes. I'm just pointing out some other factors that may have caused his accident other than the city being idiots.
I historically much prefer a desktop computer as well. Despite this, I've exclusively used laptops now for nearly a decade. The reasoning is simple:

When combined with a docking station and external peripherals and input devices, a laptop is just a desktop with an integrated battery backup and screen that can become a mobile computing device on demand.

I've fully adjusted to this way of working, and the real crossover point for me was when laptops became available with enough RAM and graphics capabilities that I no longer felt I needed a desktop to do some of my work. I can run two external displays off my laptop with it as the center screen using ergo monitor stands, and run my external mechanical keyboard, ergo mouse, and my headphone stack, boom microphone, external camera, and wired networking all from a docking station with sufficient bandwidth to not be problematic in 2022. I no longer need or want a desktop.
No, we only wish that was true. There's definitely a lot of blind tribalism on the supposedly pro-science side. I've seen it first-hand.
I'm working remotely and have a 10yo and no separate room to work in. I have headphones and at the beginning of the pandemic I set up Minecraft and other multiplayer games and messaging services for him and got him a lot of books.

The biggest thing that has worked for me is to preempt interruptions by giving him quality attention at mealtimes and during times when I "come up for air" between deep dives. I also make a point to get up from the chair periodically, and I take those times to give him a pat on the shoulder or a hug or something.

To a kid deep concentration can look a lot like anger. I make a point to respond to him in some fashion whenever he reaches out - give him a hug or something emotional and nonverbal. A lot of these interactions are just to show him that I'm there, I'm not angry. This low-level emotional stuff usually doesn't take me out of my front-brain programming head-space.

I used to worry that I wasn't always having "real" conversions with him. He'd jabber about whatever and I'd give "uh-huh" and "that's cool" answers. But I realized a lot of that is what linguists call phatic communication. What he seems to want from those conversations was a sense of connection rather than actual deep conversation. It would be a problem if we never connected, but as long as we had some quality time it seems okay if some of our conversations are on "autopilot".

I also talk about my work with him. For me it's like having a "rubber ducky" convo and he tells me it sounds like Star Trek technobabble. It gives him a sense that I'm doing complicated things inside my head but I still care about him.
It's maybe "fairer" (though that is very debatable), but it usually gives worse outcomes.

The reason many companies moved closer to Leetcode style problems is that the alternative, which is to not ask people to actually program during interviews, made companies end up hiring people who don't know how to code at all.

And just saying "we'll hire for a probationary period and then fire them if they can't code" isn't a very good idea, for anyone involved. Companies are usually reluctant to fire, so they might end up with a bad employee. And even if they don't, most people don't want to make a major change like starting a new job, if there's a significant chance they'll be fired fairly soon.
Physics is actually still pretty hard without the maths: if you imagine you have a new phenomena (e.g. a whole bunch of seemingly bizarre "elementary" particles a la hadrons before quarks) characterising them in a way that they can be modelled let alone modelling them is very hard.
But ... I think with AI, if you have an insight that isn't motivated by math per se, but is motivated by some other problem intuition, you can still attempt to implement it, and the proof is sort of in the pudding.

With physics, even the experts can go on developing theory which (as I understand it) arguably might never be testable, or is only testable after some absurdly expensive new machine is planned and built which might take decades. So an armchair physicist with an idea can have no route to falsifying their idea.
"Whether the roots were uplifted and the city had been informed" and "was Mr. Peña irresponsibly impaired" are arguments about the merits of the case. The point of the article is that Bird agreed to indemnify the city (compensate the loss incurred to the other party), and Bird claims that by agreeing to the ToS, users agree to indemnify Bird. I am not a lawyer, but it seems untenable that the buck stops with the user in all circumstances.
I think <=1 year is common enough (at least in some world regions) for it to not be a problem, but much longer and people will start to ask questions, why you left, what you did and why you are coming back. Depending on the answers, it increases the risk of a miss-hire quite a bit especially for the first company that would provide a re-entry.
By the author's metric, I think this statement would be "Active" if it were an honest statement, i.e. you're actually sick, but it would be "Avoidant" if it is deceptive

Correct. Also there is apparently multiple of them.

Rocket silos are incredibly difficult to destroy, even with nukes.
I agree when it comes to plans.

But in general, aren't there some cases where we want to moderate our communication based on how it will be received? Honesty is the right default, but not universally correct.

The classic example is that it might be preferable to tell someone that a dress they just bought looks good on them.

I think as children we tend to be too honest, and then overshoot as teens or young adults by worrying too much about social acceptance. And we have to find a middle ground.
> We can attain a pretty great standard for everybody.

By whose definition? Living in a city is not a great quality of life for me. I've done it and hated it compared to living in a suburb.

> Not only is population control completely unnecessary, but it requires either mass murder or forced sterilisation. I would prefer that we not do either of those things.

Educated people have way fewer children than poor and uneducated people. Not to mention placing a cap on immigration, etc. Your argument is reductivist and leaves out a lot of valid ways to reduce populations.
"More multi-chip processor designs" != "single-chip processors have reached their limits".
Do you have some data on that? My assumption is that removing costly litigation could save money, but I haven't seen any case studies on it.
>You can't measure how much the other person truly wants to cancel, because attempting to take the measurement will alter the outcome.

There are 101 ways to addresses this. "How are you feeling about the plans" is simple enough if two people are being honest with each other.
For most companies, a bad hire is much worse than missing a good hire. That's why in many ways, companies optimize in that direction.

Isn't circumvention of the legal system the entire point of Terms & Conditions? If both parties were fine with the law as it stood, no one would need to sign anything.
Oberlin is not responsible for the speech of its students. It's responsible for its own speech. It wasn't just students who falsely accused the bakery of racism. Oberlin echoed the students and made its own false accusations of racism against the bakery and among other things. That's what the lawsuit is about.

The wikipedia entry has better details on the case: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibson%27s_Bakery_v._Oberlin_C...
"No using the internet for more than 20 minutes a day unless it's work related? Only playing video games for an hour or two per week? This feels like it'd set OP up to burn out..."

The internet and video games didn't even exist for almost all of human history, and people didn't burn out merely for lack of access to them.

Unplug and enjoy the world.
The corrolarly of this absolutist perspective is to allow Twitter/Wikipedia/Arxiv/Facebook/HackerNews to become 8chan, which is a reductio ad absurdum of your position that all ideas are equally valid, objective facts can't be agreed upon (or perhaps don't even exist) and one can't possibly design a good moderation system. I reject this position on purely empirical grounds, simply contrast the tightly moderated HackerNews with the unmoderated sewer that is 8chan.
The point is that Bird is using an arbitration agreement between them and an end user to not have to pony up according to the terms of their indemnification agreement with the city. This has _0_ to do with whether the gentleman brought it on himself.
Yea this is exactly it. I would never want to work for Facebook but I might want to work for Oculus. Even though I know Meta is just Facebook in new clothing it might (for some) psychologically distance it enough.

That being said with all of the data Facebook has from Facebook itself I would imagine Suckerberg must know that for the long term success of his different businesses they do have to distance the smaller ones a bit more than they are now - personally I am hoping we see a major fall in Facebooks value and influence and things like Oculus are spun-off to be as autonomous as possible.
Have a job for your job.

When I was a teenager, I had my jobs to acquire some discretionary cash for things my parents refused to fund (e.g. build a skateboard mini-ramp in the backyard). I got a job to get the money to buy the supplies, and spent years enjoying it.

In the intervening decades, I forgot how satisfying it is ot see the job as a means to fulfilling a personal goal.

To me, this purposefulness, this I'm-here-to-achieve-this-personal-goal, eliminates concerns about what a current or potential employer would think about your time not working. As any job is in service to a larger personal goal.

Also, for very experienced people, it sometimes it takes 6-12 months to find the next right role.

Take care of yourself.
This is fantastic news.
I love that LucasGames is now collaborating in this way.
It's not flamewar bait unless you turn it into that. It can be a fruitful discussion.
Science is a relatively slow process, it takes a long time to understand how diseases work. Virtually every other disease has been studied for years or decades before a properly understanding how it spreads, how it grows within the body, how it manifests, how it can be defeated. Influenza has existed for over a hundred years and we're still learning more about it.

The CDC needed to make decisions quickly at the beginning of the pandemic before anything about the disease was really understood. As they learned more information they changed those decisions. Did they do all of this perfectly? No. Did they fuck up at moments? Sure. Have aspects of their response been way too political? Yes. They're human and not perfect. They were working under insane conditions and made some mistakes.

At the same time that we were learning about the disease, it was also changing. The strains that are common now behave differently than the strains that existed two years ago. This also complicates the process.

You are criticizing the CDC for "flip-flopping" when they've simply responded to new information and a changing disease. Do you expect them to have known all they know now on Day 1 of the disease? Do you expect them to have said zero for several years until everything was 100% known? Whats your fucking point here?
But what would be the point of doing that? They can't sell you whatever it is they're trying to sell unless you open the doc.
Curious - do you know what he could have been referring to? SRE position, 6-8 years ago.
The 'government' isn't necessarily looped into every such decision. A lot of 'should we shoot' escalations are ultimately in the hands of local commanders.
> you are a man who likes other men

Not sure how thoroughly they have to verify that, either...
It's interesting if there could be something similar to the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) but for emergency preparedness. In there Western portion of North America, it seems such things will be more needed going forward - whether it be prescribed burns or actual fire fighting.

From an individual participant perspective - it'd seem like it'd scratch a similar itch - slightly dangerous, wilderness training, heroic and camaraderie building.

From a societal perspective - there will always be natural disasters. Also some of the skills could be useful for national defense but not having to maintain an organization that's sole purpose is national defense seems like it'd be a huge benefit. Why not train the team and build camaraderie by fighting fires that need fighting versus expensive simulated war games.

I think physicists are "careful enough" with their communications to the general public and amongst themselves. At the end of the day, they got work to do after all.

The weird thing about physics is that it attracts a lot of strange fellows that want to grapple with these ideas much like the OP is working with. As far as I know, no other field attracts such folks, and no, people who cargo-cult Kubernetes into their small company workflow for resume bullet-points are NOT the same kind of person as someone who would waltz into a general relativity colloquium, from the street, sporting no degree whatsoever (it happens).

There's whole categories of outsiders, some call them cranks, who get involved with physics. John Baez even has a purity test of sorts for this (the crackpot index): https://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/crackpot.html
