That IPC figure is a bit misleading because different designs clock differently, for example the Apple designs likely have shorter pipelines which uses cycles and power more efficiently but won't support higher clock speeds. I doubt an M1 could hit 7.8GHz no matter how much cooling you gave it, but the Intel design will never be as energy efficient. Apple has different manufacturing constraints because vertical integration likely lets them spend more on the dies, they are using better fabs, etc. Meanwhile they prioritize having very few variants in a way Intel doesn't (or from another standpoint can't because they need more SKUs to sell). The engineers who do this stuff are living in 100-dimensional tradeoff land though, unlike what popular tech rants tend to imply there are no free lunches.

At a higher level it is just hard to do designs at this complexity so the dominating factor is budget divided by how many different products the team needs to make. Intel is the outlier, they managed to sabotage their own dominant position, but across the rest of the CPU world this holds true.
If nothing else this piece is optimistic.
Maybe this works for elder people but this would've had the exact opposite effect on teens i guess.

I remember back in the day when we got our first 386, the person who installed it, told me specifically that I should never press the delete key or enter the CMOS.. no matter what.

This was pre-internet so his word was it. He even made up a horror story about a guy locking his PC 'forever' due a lost password (maybe he didn't want to do unneeded maintenance due to a kid exploring the CMOS settings).

Guess the first thing I did as soon as he left the house :D
Unfortunately the choice of using a sawtooth wave for playback of an organ piece makes it nearly just as unintelligible as the 639 year performance.
I expect the 25Gbps link to be over-subscribed. Without minimum bandwidth guarantees, with 48Y4C * 2 switch and 100Gbps backhaul to the whole PoP (with minimum 64 customers for it to break-even), I suspect the sustained bandwidth will fluctuate wildly. In the worst case scenario, each customer may get a sustained bandwidth less than 50Mbps. Of course the big advantage is burst bandwidth is much higher.
If that's your metric for accidental deaths not worth worrying about, while both the population and its gun ownership have increased by at least one half since 1980, accidental gun deaths keep going down, from around 800 in 1980 to 486 for 2019, the last year the CDC has reported data on all causes of death.

> Living in a home with Cat5 throughout so the best I can do is to route 1Gbit.

Having your uplink faster than all your individual ports in a network helps prevent any one port from being able to saturate your network.

I work at an ISP that within the last year started selling 10Gbit symmetric, and we all sorta know there's not a huge use for it - yet. It's not really an issue for use to justify though, we don't charge any extra for it, it's all $40/mo and if you're in a new area we're building you get 10Gbit instead of the old 1Gbit at that price.
One has to be skeptical even about the whole notion of the temperature of a black hole and existence of Hawking radiation.

In a book from 1927 Richard Tolman tried to generalize thermodynamics to General Relativity. One of the most interesting of his results was that in GR thermal equilibrium required a temperature gradient that depended on the gravitational field. Tolmen’s result is still sometimes discussed but it is not settled if he was wrong or right.

The catch is that if his reasoning was correct, then the black hole horizon from a point of view of external observer should have the temperature of 0K which in turn implied no Hawking radiation.
I'm developing a desktop GUI app using Gtk4 at the moment, and I quite like it, including the look/feel of it. The "everything is a widget" approach in Gtk4 makes it much easier to create custom widgets than in past versions, and building on Windows was surprisingly simple (with MSYS2). How does Lazarus compare? I get that it's a whole RAD tool, including IDE, but just in terms of functionality, and ease of extending the components if necessary?

College towns.

Where I live (Charlottesville VA) has one of the best data science communities compared to other meetups in other major metros. It’s actually easier because things are closer and less spread out, so it’s easier to stay involved. There’s university connections. Also people move here because they historically have been good enough to not need to live in a giant city to have reliable employment.
I think this project is great and I fully support it. However, it's only a list of books challenged by mostly christian conservatives dealing with race and gender. Left-leaning progressives challenge books ALL the time. This is bristling to hear, but it's true. Books that are deemed to contain racist or sexist words or images are challenged every year. Huckleberry Finn, Dr. Seuss books, books about Christopher Columbus. Go find the video of zealous high school students throwing out books they don't like in an attempt to "decolonize" the shelves. Go read about how librarians intentionally weed books they find offensive. [1] Sorry, but that is a book challenge whether you like it or not. Different people are offended by different things and they don't want you to see the books that piss them off.

I don't like any book banning or book challenges, we also need to keep the problem in perspective. There are 100,000+ libraries and ~170 million library card holders in this country. The vast majority of these challenged are from coordinated groups like Moms For Liberty who just hand over huge lists all at once. Each of those get counted as a "challenge". I sharply disagree with Moms For Liberty but this threat seems largely exaggerated.

Even an informal process like TDD is a huge improvement in this space. You can’t write tests first without an at least implicit specification.

It is really wonderful though when the algorithm just falls out of the specification. Dijkstra’s derivation of smoothsort[1] is a nice example.

“Integrity” has different meanings for each group. For the latter, the meaning is likely closer to “bring in enough revenue to keep the publication running.” Applying dark patterns does not conflict with this.

I’ve had that same account. You got duped by Capital One, as this account was a “Savings” Account, but then they introduced a new “Performance Savings” account years back. The Performance account has competitive yields (top of market 2.5% few years back) but they got to milk customers who just stayed on existing “Savings” accounts that didn’t realize the yields were way too low. Getting the higher yield was as simple as a few buttons online to open the account and transfer money, same interface and everything.
Swisscom customer (and employee) here, opinions are my own of course.

They recently called me to upgrade my fiber connection from 1 Gbps to 10Gbps for free (every customer with a compatible connection gets it, AFAIK).

I have to admit that, although the network is indeed faster (on the speed tests and file transfers), I really don't see the point quite yet.

Considering that:

- Most of the devices I use are anyways connected to WiFi 6

- Reaching a 10Gbps peak is highly unlikely

- Most of my ethernet ports are anyways at most 1Gbps

- Most of the servers won't serve you more than 1Gbps anyways

I do not really consider this a must-have upgrade for a residential customer, especially if you live alone / less than 4 people.

On top of that, as demonstrated by these tests, servers aren't quite there yet, and the 10Gbps / 25Gbps you are getting are not fully dedicated to your connection.

Don't get me wrong, I love to be able to use the fastest internet I can - but realistically speaking this is just useful in a few specific cases.

If you are hosting your own server at home, a 10 / 25 Gbps upload is definitely interesting though.

It a nice thing to have already, and I'm really thankful to live in a country where I have the privilege of having such a luxury, but as of today a >1Gbps connection is overkill (heck, for most of the stuff even a >100Mbps is overkill sometimes).
No. Simply put, the laws of physics will be described by different equations in a rotating frame of reference than in one that doesn’t rotate, while it is impossible to distinguish two frames of reference that is just moving relatively to each other without any reference to the outside.
You are completely missing the point and extracting the quote without context.
In other words, emphasize the process more than the outcomes. If the scientific process used proves sound, then I have more confidence in the outcomes.

Alas, that's a hard sell to laypersons thru the mediums of soundbites and tweets.
His book on elementary particles perhaps?

I think there's a General Relativity book that does the same thing only with the schwarzchild solution, but I'm not sure who wrote it.
I've always considered Bell's solution somewhat obvious.

It wasn't team Einstein's responsibility to propose a solution, his motive was a rebuttal.

The fact that it went unstated for 30 years, Einstein died in 1955, reflected poorly on team Heisenberg.
In Zürich city a law was passed to pull fiber into every home. The fiber is serviced by the electric and partially the largest phone company. Any provider can use the network and therefore the fees a low.

If you live outside the city you may not be so lucky and spend 100+ on maybe 500mbit internet.

Init7 is also currently in a legal fight with swisscom because swisscom wants (has already started) to pull some alternative fiber that doesn't directly connect the customer to the pop therefore preventing competitors offering faster service than swisscom. The small cost savings that swisscom has is a huge problem for future upgrades and requires power in underground shafts. Not very green when you could pull the fibers directly.
is it not just promotion for new season of Netflix's Ozark?
Yep. In fact, something even narrower. That it would do so without any sexual dimorphism between men and women.

(And I'm not even here to have this argument -- it's just a basic fact behind one of the reasons why some tech companies would skew more male than others -- but then some people decided to argue.)

I guess this shows the slippery slope fallacy isn't always fallacious.

The problem with "consensus" as a measure is that consensus is always moving. We need to encourage professional and laypersons alike to embrace the freedom to be wrong as everything is wrong until it is right.

And what constitutes consensus? If Mazda puts out an ad saying that ICE cars contribute less than transoceanic shipping, is that acceptable? It's factual, but it goes against the consensus that ICE cars need to be eliminated.

I get this is ads, not user generated content, though the chilling effect is there.
I've worked with using formal verification systems to secure smart contracts. It's less useful than you would think, for two reasons:

1. It's extremely hard to come up with the correct rules for expected behavior. It's like making a safe wish versus an evil genie. It's also surprisingly easy to make a rule that doesn't check anything, or what you think it does.

2. In the areas that deal with the most money, DeFi, there may be thirty program involved, most of which were not made by you or under your control. Current formal methods can just handle a single program. The common way to handle networks of contracts is to test each in isolation, making assumptions about what the other contracts can do. But it's really easy to make a wrong assumption here.
Microsoft C++ has improved a lot but no I mean LLVM being faster than it.
I have mixed feelings. On the one hand you don’t want to kill people but on the other hand a lot of the big players in regulated industries are stagnant, complacent and inefficient. A good example would be SpaceX. Compared to their competitors they move faster, are innovative, cheaper and despite that they are reliable when it counts . Most of their failures were well calculated risks that helped them move faster. I am in health care and this industry also desperately needs new players that take more agile approaches and not the super expensive super slow approach most established players are taking. They are way too complacent.
We need to get some level of control over the criteria for ranking and filtering. A third one is the UI - it is the place where all sort of dark patterns hide.

I'd like to see the browser put in a sandbox and its inputs/outputs sanitised and de-biased before being presented to the user. Could also protect privacy more. We need more browser innovation. A neural net should be in every browser ready to apply semantic rules.
Not sure if you are joking, but the article covers this.

In principle, according to QM, information is never lost (until you make a measurement, but that's a different can of worms). In principle, in QM it is impossible to delete information. The article explains: if you burn a book, but gather detailed information about the fire and the smoke, you can reconstruct exactly what every letter on every page looked like, and every ink blot you spilled on it 10 years ago.
Does Twist support a "braided" view of threads, i.e. where you can see all messages in all threads in a channel ordered chronologically, with some clear visual indicator of which thread each message is from? (Sort of as if people are talking directly in the channel, but where every message has a threaded "provenance"; and where you can collapse/mute threads you don't care about, causing those messages to no longer show up in the braided view for you.)

This is kind of what you get from Slack's threads — if everyone always uses the "also share to channel" option in the thread, and if everyone also make sure to otherwise never post directly to the channel. Which is impossible to enforce, of course.

I feel like, without such a braided view, it'd be very hard to follow several threads at once, if you were e.g. helping multiple people in a "support" channel, with each conversation being a thread. Once you navigated into a thread, you wouldn't be able to see activity in sibling threads until you navigated out. You'd know that something happened, but you wouldn't be able to glance at the content to tell if it's more urgent than your current conversation. (You could rely on app toast notifications, but you might miss these if you glance away for a moment.)
Did you make it? Are you planning to make it?

Well.. tbh some feminists supported the Afghanistan war based on "feminist grounds". Of course in reality the situation was only made much worse for women. No side is free of making bad choices
They already do this whenever one of the developers fat fingers their code and loses all their own holdings. The whole thing is kind of a scam.
> Most people do not have the risk tolerance to use a system where one typographical error can irreversibly lose your life savings (for example), the product of decades of work.

This might be true without mattering much -- most people don't have decades of savings. If you're not willing to lose the product of decades of work, but you never have more than a year worth of savings, what does your unwillingness mean?
> I always wondered why there was seemingly no (marketed) business in foreign savings accounts.

Its not too difficult to buy international bond funds. For example, SDEU (iShares German Government Bonds).
First, understand that you are trying to control them.

This might sound odd, but it's true. You're trying to change their behaviour because you'd prefer it another way. Maybe that's because you want to be a good person or it hurts you to see them fail, but ultimately you have selfish motives.

Secondly, realise that many people in their life have tried to control them before. They didn't all have pure motives. Many of them may have been wrong, in some ways significantly.

From these two thoughts — deduce that _it is absolutely critical that this person can defend against bad advice._ Without that skill, they will be totally lost. Gullible, open to confusion, even abuse. You are fighting their social immune system and you need to prove that you can be trusted. If you fail, accept that you have failed for a good reason.

Finally — and this is the most difficult part — frame your advice as a piece of information that will be believable and useful in the world of your listener rather than your own. How do you do this? Ask questions, seek to understand what they think, why they behave the way they do, their goals, their fears, who and what they respect. Once you've done this, reformulate your advice to fit the world you have discovered and try it out. This may include showing rather than telling. If it still doesn't work, try to understand what they heard and why it didn't add up to them.

If you can do all of this, people will follow your advice much of the time. The catch is that you might find yourself changing your own views just as often.
General relativity is not linear algebra. Just glancing at the underlying equations, you can see they are non linear. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein_tensor]

The same is true for quantum field theory. I'm curious why you're so confident that they are "in fact both linear algebra"

> You seem to be implying that the political situation has deteriorated and become more violent. Is that so?

No, this was not my intended implication at all.

The point was that when PoC raise their voices for BLM, refugee & immigrant rights, or when trans folk rally and protest for trans rights and against transphobic laws, or when anti-vaxxers/maskers force governments to impose mandates and reinstate lockdowns during COVID spikes, or when rural car owners demand lower gas prices forcing nations to conduct business with a war-perpetrator like Russia, it directly affects the quality of life of people who probably don't consider themselves part of these movements -- often mildly disruptive, sometimes largely disruptive, sometimes net positive.

And the implication was that with the internet in general and social media in particular dictating the rhetoric and pace of these movements gaining traction, it happens at a scale and polarization in months that used to take generations.

Regardless, state sanctioned violence is still rampant in many parts of the world, though not on the scale of Tiananmen or post-colonial freedom struggles unless you count the war in Ukraine. Often these are countries that western media pays less close attention to, and is a case in point of politics many in the west can still conveniently ignore -- the never-ending violence in the Gaza strip, Palestinians being de-homed in Israel, continued ISIS activity across the subcontinent, Venezuelan riots and suppression, Chinese suppression of Uyghurs and Tibetans, the Indian farmer protest response and anti-Muslim crackdowns, Malaysia, Philippines, the list goes on...

Wait a sec.

By far the most widely used half-assed solution to namespaces is in the HTML5 parser to special case svgs (and maybe other curiosities? Dunno). And if I understand correctly, that happens to be a full-assed specified algorithm that all current browsers use.

That is all in order to avoid the problems that would have come with requiring the full-assed XML namespaces in that case.

If I were a political operative, I would attempt to bog down the XML apologists on this point whenever they attempt to argue that JSON gets as complicated as XML when you try to include namespaces.
If you have been harmed by the statement of the college, the legal recourse would be to sue them and bring evidence of the actual harm.
Doesn't the idea of "randomly emitted radiation" contradict the concept of "reversal" itself? If you know enough about a system, anything that appears random within it actually turns out to be determinstic. So I don't understand how a black hole can be said to emit "random" radiation to lose information on the first place.

In his own words, he believes those who love personal freedom shouldn't tolerate capitalism, from first principles (from TFA). Later, he states that personal digital wallets would benefit individuals and increase freedom by cutting off banks and their rent-seeking using exclusive central bank accounts.

His position is that Bitcoin and the current state of cryptocurrency are incapable of defeating the ills of capitalism, contrary to pro-crypto boosters claims.
