> changes in the way chips are designed can make them resilient to defects, so you no longer need to trash that chip on your wafer that's affected by such a defect,

no, it's basically "chiplets but you don't cut the chiplets apart". You design the chiplets to be nodes in a mesh interconnect, and failed chiplets can simply be disabled entirely and then routed around. But they're still "chiplets" that have their own functionality and provide a coarser conceptual block than a core itself and thus simplify some of the rest of the chip design (communications/interconnect, etc).

note that technically (if you don't mind the complexity) there's nothing wrong with harvesting at multiple levels like this! You could have "this chiplet has 8 cores, that one has 6, that one failed entirely and is disabled" and as long as it doesn't adversely affect program characteristics too much (data load piling up or whatever) that can be fine too.

however, there's nothing about "changes in the way the chips are designed that makes them more resilient to defects", you still get the same failure rates per chiplet, and will still get the same amount of failed (or partially failed) chiplets per wafer, but instead of cutting out the good ones and then repackaging, you just leave them all together around "route around the bad ones".

The advantage is that MCM-style chiplet/interposer packaging actually makes data movement much more expensive, because you have to run a more powerful interconnect, where this isn't moving anything "off-chip", so you avoid a lot of that power cost. There are other technologies like EMIB and copper-copper bonding that potentially can lessen those costs for chiplets of course.

What Intel is looking at doing with "tiles" in their future architectures with chiplets connected by EMIB at the edges (especially if they use copper-copper bonding) is sort of a half-step in engineering terms here but I think there are still engineering benefits (and downsides of course) to doing it as a single wafer rather than hopping through the bridge even with a really good copper-copper bond. Actual full-on MCM/interposer packaging is a step worse than cu-cu bonding and requires more energy but even cu-cu bonding is not perfect and thus not as good as just "on-chip" routing. So WSI is designed to get everything "on-chip" but without the yield problems of just a single giant chip.
Yes, sure. But we were talking about social events.
Sounds like the other person has more power in the "community" though, and a grudge against them.
I don't understand, are you saying the trees got smallpox and were enslaved and that's why they are gone?
Well, to be fair, current theory for vacuum energy is 120 orders of magnitude off from observed values from what I've read (IANAPhysicist). That's a lot of runway for crackpot physics.
That is correct, but by and large I think the army is used mainly for those purposes. Not perfectly or without error, but mainly.

In any case defending our citizens and allies is a task that needs to be done no matter how much we wring our hands about the consequences. If we want it done more competently it’s on us to elect more competent governments, not the army.
I built this one myself, it's an event log which is used to progressively build onto a secondary data structure (which is more closely tied to the client)
Would love an answer on this too. It would be even better not just to try using this, but also be able to run it locally, something that has been impossible for GPT-3.
> Most languages have embraced statements over expressions for a lot of language constructs.

Some of the most used languages with flow typing have statements and follow them for typing, so that is emphatically not the reason.

No corporate policy is more toxic than "assume positive intent."

A less qualified manager clones constantly being promoted over more qualified minorities/women/etc? "Assume positive intent!"

Coworkers taking credit for your work? "Assume positive intent!"

Pushed untested code to production? "Assume positive intent!"
Quite intrigued by this, and will definitely step through the tutorial. It will be interesting to compare it side-by-side with Adonis (and possibly Nest).
But you're required to bring a power cable, keyboard, mouse, and monitor wherever you want to work, and sit near a power outlet.

For me pop sci documentaries were quite a motivation to study Physics though. But yeah, after having studied it I have zero interest in pop sci anymore. It's unfortunately not really explaining things but more show casing things. But what I also learned while reading text books, listening and reading lectures: often the most concise explanations are very close to every day language. (In the lines of https://www.motionmountain.net/9lines.html which was recently also posted on HN) Would be great if such things could be included more into pop sci. Maybe in a way that at least the common notations are put in. That doesn't enable you to do meaningful calculations but at least it would be way closer to relevant literature. Unfortunately there's also quite a barrier to university literature in terms of pricing and some stuff is just not published on the Internet. E.g. lecture notes are only sporadically available but tend to be more readable than most books. FWIW Feynman's lectures on Physics really stand out here

We have the first, it's just not called "slider".
> you probably simply just need to learn to use a keyboard

it's not the keyboard, it's the meaning 'RET' has for a particular form. It can be a per field 'accept then go next' it can be 'validate the local group', 'validate the main form and submit it back', 'accept a partial choice but don't change focus'. That's why the hint is brilliant, it removes confusion.

Also people who need this knowledge are never given good tutors. It's mostly "deal with it, and be fast or else.."
Sometimes they're a trap. Sometimes people genuinely want to know your opinion and if they did anything wrong in your view. Sometimes that VP wants to know if the rumors are true that your direct manager is planning to return to Andromeda. Sometimes it's just good to clear the air with your manager, especially if there were some contentious issues.

And even if they disagree as to the causes or solutions that you propose, it's really good to at least have the conversation -- to communicate! This is the last time you'll ever get a chance to (sort of) speak freely.

Really, these people are all humans too. Well, most of them, anyway.

So, seriously, lean toward taking the exit interview, even with full knowledge of the (true) downsides listed in the article versus few upsides for you. Just gauge the exit interview based on the person who's sitting across the table.
The benchmark quantifiably shows that direct calls are faster than indirect calls, which was your original question. Could a hypothetical C compiler transform an indirect call to a shared library into a direct call? Maybe, but that is different from your original question as to the performance of direct vs. indirect calls on modern x86 architectures which this benchmark shows is not the same.
You say 1000 lines is an arbitrary number. Do you actually have a feature in mind that takes it above this artificial limit? Did you even read the code?

They like this round number. Fork. Why argue.
That argument is only valid for the last 2 years is my point.

I don't think pattern matching and union-types makes narrow typing useless. Rust has both pattern matching and union types but still implements some specific forms of control-flow based typing.

For example, consider this Rust snippet :

pub fn positive1(x: isize) -> Option<usize> {
if x > 0 { Some(x as usize) } else { None }
}

Unless I'm mistaken, without narrow typing, this cast would be impossible, and there would be no way to avoid the redundant runtime check caused by try_into().unwrap(), that is not even optimized unless you trick the compiler.

You are right about how much harder higher clocks made things. PC mother boards got stuck at 33MHz for the longest time even though 50MHz processors were available. It took Intel coming out with the 486DX2 (50MHz inside the chip, 25MHz on the board) to get things moving again.

A key transition was moving from the 1 and 2 layer printed circuit boards of 1970s e cheap 1980s computers to 4 layers like in the IBM PC and Apple Macintosh. The difference a ground and power plane makes in the waveforms is simply amazing.
"30-45 lbs"
The parent poster is talking about "rural poor", i.e., socioeconomic class, not "dumb hicks", i.e. perceived intelligence/education level. I think this is an important distinction.

Yes, this is anecdata, and yes, there are many reasons why people serve, but I know some smart people (from college and in my career) who've served (in infantry) because they saw it as their only way to get money for college. I think that says less about military recruiting tactics than the government overall, because there really should be more options presented to someone looking to get an education to move up the socioeconomic ladder.
Our feelings are vast and bottomless. It is impossible to confront all of them, and for the same reason its undesirable. Avoiding your feelings can be useful too.
Maybe today it's cheap enough to have a fully redrawable key. Maybe it's still over-engineering for this purpose.
File this along with the advice about resignation letters to state nothing but

"I am writing to give notice of my resignation from <company> on <today's date>. According to the terms of my employment contract my final day will be <leaving date >. -- Sincerely, <name>"
I would love a platform like this as well. About 1 hour into an intensive search, I find that I have so many questions that are hard to Google that an expert would easily be able to walk me through. $50 for 20 minutes would be an incredible boon in those situations.
You can have happy endings. Once in a while an annoying manager will actually realize that they've been out of line, and reform. But the downside is so big it's not worth the chance.
But they are nx1 matrices in Eigen, you can call the rows() and cols() methods to check that. However, the nice part is that, since Eigen knows the number of columns at compile time, it enables vector methods such as size() in addition, which lets you handle them as true vector.

But tge nice part is that these vectors can still interact well with parts of the code that expect a matrix.
> If you notice you are the only one in 200 people have any issues, a reasonable question to ask yourself is if the problem is you.

This is exactly the right attitude. If everyone else is happy and the only problem is you, all the more reason to be respectful! It's better to treat it as a cultural misfit rather than ask them risk making 200 other employees unhappy to appease you.
If light is a wave, is it rude to not wave back?
Actually, we are getting out of room there.

that speech is about 80 years old nowadays. There was plenty of room at that time.

Of course, it also speculated that we would move into quantum computers at some point, what is still a possibility, but now we know that quantum computers won't solve every issue.

I've looked at it, but I won't consider a cloud service\, and while it is open-source, the dependency hairball to self-host Netlify is rather intimidating.
What's the budget and target audience?

At my usual budget (side projects on own time) with no artists I mostly just tinker with dialog trees in Twine or Twine-like languages. (I've got my own finished YAML-based Twine-like and my own unfinished Inform-inspired Twine-like that maybe one day I'll push closer to completion.)

Given a small budget, I feel like you can go a long way with Löve 2D or Ren'Py. (Both were "compile" targets of my YAML-based Twine-like at various points. Which I mixed with some awful programmer art.) Ren'Py especially has a lot of the tools you need to do off-the-shelf Point-and-Click adventures well for a great price and relatively easy learning curve with a ton of examples and tutorials out there to learn. I think Ren'Py's focus on "Visual Novels" tends to get it overlooked for "point-and-click adventures", but even as "just" a prototyping tool on the way to a "proper Western viewpoint point-and-click" it shouldn't be dismissed so quickly.

Given a larger budget and a general desire to use off the shelf tools where I can I'd probably start with Unity as a base today. It has most platforms covered and I like C# as a language and a growing body of "indie" artists have good experience with it on their CVs. I haven't investigated the existing adventure game packages for Unity, but I've heard good things. I've also heard good things about Inkle's Twine-like engine for Unity.

I'm also sort of watching Unreal Engine 5 as a weird dark horse here given enough budget, and that might be a big budget. Some of the stuff that Unreal Engine 5 is doing wouldn't be directly useful in a "point-and-click" in the traditional sense, but has me curious if there's room to explore things like a modern take on the GRIMe engine with off-the-shelf tools. (GRIMe being Grim Fandango's engine for an attempt at 3D adventure gaming.)

You are wrong. Racism is prejudice or discrimination against people (or a person) due to their race or perceived race. White is a race so it is possible to be racist against whites.

Trotsky did not invent racism. People discriminated against others due to their race before Trotsky was even born.

I don't care if you want to call it racism or racial bigotry or whatever. It exists and it can happen against all races, by any race, in every country.
Its been my experience that the "dramatic consequences" you talk about can be avoided by not participation in behavior that falls into the "[Competitive Laws](https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Entering_the_Kingdom/The_Comp...)" Camp.

But there is a certain momentum of "cause and effect" that needs to be transcended first.
I’m guardedly in favour. I see how well it works in Estonia and think, “Hey, that would be great in AUS.” I also think of Australia’s global leadership in putting laws online.

Then I think of the recent governments, and various execution fiascos like NBN and I think that this could turn into mandatory spyware, or more likely a half-witted rort.

The worst is that it seems clear that, while this could be done in a wonderfully privacy-preserving way, it’s more likely to be a leaky, non-private implementation.
Remember when google offered that “ideas to save the planet” contest? I used to wade through those.

They fell into a couple easy categories. Perpetual motion machines, casual ideas that are obviously impractical, fundamentally failing to understand the subject area. Not a single one of them seemed new or useful.

Then again Nicola Tesla had some strange ideas. Turns out half of them were brilliant and the other half still seem weird. Efforts to demarcate crackpot and real might be approaching the problem from the wrong direction.

I like the author’s strategy of helping people gain the knowledge to understand what they’re trying to talk about. Teslas ideas about motion and flow as it pertains to physical health were weird but that doesn’t mean he was unable to learn about biology, had he spent time learning about it, maybe he’d have brought his ideas back to reality and contributed something interesting.

We should celebrate people for their curiosity, encourage them to gain the knowledge that has already been discovered and help them express their ideas in ways that others can relate to.

You can't control what other people think about you. Better to just tell the truth instead of trying to shape their opinion of you.
I certainly agree that it's important to leave people room to change who they are, but if a person isn't defined by their actions, then what are they?

I guess it is polite discourse these days to distance a person's actions from some intangible person-ness, but it feels very mushy.
How do you feel about the J/APL syntax in live coding sessions ? does it help iterating a bit faster than R/python ? or was it a totally irrelevant aspect ?
In the US, the military doesn't choose the targets. Elected civilians do. The way to square those feelings is to direct them at the people who give the top-level orders, and the rhetoric used to support those orders to the public.

There is an entire branch of ethics and philosophy dedicated to the topic: Just War Theory. The US interventions in Serbia and Kuwait were both well-justified in my eyes.
Also LTT has done network-wide adblock tutorials before, so it's rather hypocritical of them to say adblocking is bad.

Interesting that they used Chain of Thought Prompting[1] for improved reasoning so soon after its publication. Also related to DeepMind AlphaCode which generates code and filters results by unit tests, while Chain of Thought Prompting filters by checking for correct answer at the end.

Seems like language models can generate more training data for language models in an iterative manner.

It's also much easier and cheaper to build and repair a desktop in a normal tower with normal parts that you can get in the neighbour store when it breaks down at the worst possible moment (last week for example when the harddrive broke together... or the week before when the memory gave up and computer started crashing... Or last year when one of the other computers graphics card fan gave up) Open up, replace part, boot up and test. Back to work.
Off course t is more difficult to put RUnet into the cage, it was born free. Chinese internet and "the cage" were growing together, for Russia it is going to be a cat and mouse game.
> Overall I think the problem here is just how many things are tied to the price. Quality of screen, keyboard, battery, etc.

The secret here is to get an old high end laptop. Then the screen and keyboard are good but the price is low.
Have mentioned this on HN before but I've done this for years, with OpenVPN to connect to my network and then SSH and XPRA for the actual remote X or terminal. On LAN I sometimes use a SPICE VDI. I don't care at all if I break or lose my disposable laptop and there's no data stored on it anyways.

I used to use a desktop workstation for the above, but after I got a rack server (running 24/7 with a bare-metal hypervisor) I'm finding I'm using the desktop less and less unless I require the GPU. If I was back in school now I would've forgone the desktop altogether and gone with a cheap laptop and a used server.

By the way, it's not just about performance. It's about the fact that your data is protected and secure, and you can have backups and redundancy in your private cloud instead of relying on a single laptop. Depending on how your remote access is set up you could even have a browser interface and thus be able to work on a borrowed machine or even on a public library computer.

I hope we are going to get back to a more asymmetric multi-processing arrangement in the near term where we abandon the fiction of a processor or two running the whole show with peripheral systems that have as little smarts as possible and promote them to at least second class citizens.

These systems are much more powerful than when these abstractions were laid down, and at this point it feels like the difference between redundant storage on the box versus three feet away is more academic than anything else.
