There's also the factor of what kinds of performance you care about and are thinking about, and what you're not.

There was the memorable story shared around here a while ago of a player patching GTA V's live service online to eliminate multiple-minute load times [1]. I'm sure Rockstar had/has many people working on performance (the core game is a well-known good performer and now has been on three different console generations since launch) but just, not this.

(Though to totally miss such truly extensive load times on your main revenue-generating component, that one's a headscratcher. Feels like something you'd end up addressing just for your own internal sanity. Maybe everyone just had monster workstations and didn't notice.)

This is an old article but I don't see the point in calling out Japanese instances for cartoons when American Nazis and actual child molesters are on the network as well. I find lolicon gross, but if you're going to look for something to worry about on a decentralized, federated, censorship resistant network like Mastrodon, you can find much worse.

Glad to see work continuing in this area. I've been keeping an eye out, since first reading about Gobekli Tepe (related site nearby) several years ago. If they're truly as old as purported, that's interesting.
This is impressive. Wonderful work to OP.

I’m currently working with Digistain (S21) and we’re using AI to predict breast (and eventually other) cancer recurrence.

The tests are performed using infrared spectroscopy to measure protein synthesis and then fed into AI in order to make proper measurements and predictions.

We’ve shown we’re able to predict better than any other known method and are beginning our partnership and rollout to many hospitals around the world.
Breast cancer for example is diagnosed by increasing levels of invasiveness. First a mammogram, then possibly a 3D mammogram, then an ultrasound, then a biopsy. There are possibilities for false positives all along this path and increasing levels of possible complications when performing procedures. If a false positive gets to a biopsy and you get an infection from it, you would not have ever gotten that infection if they didn't start testing you so young. False positives are very common with breast cancer screening.
I can't speak toward tarantulas, but some jumping spiders definitely recognize, acknowledge and seemingly even appreciate individuals. Honestly, they sometimes look excited to see you as a dog would -- though that's likely just a basic recognition that you act as their food delivery service. They even appear to understand the concept (if not reasoning) behind their enclosure.

Some folks who spend a lot of time with their jumping spiders will actually leave the enclosure door open, as the spider will happily stay there unless it lacks water or food for a long period of time, and typically only leaves when its human stops by. It will come to the door when you get close, jump on your hand and hang out very calmly (some people even go on walks with them), then gladly jump back into the enclosure when you're done and patiently wait for you to bring it food.

> Grossly inefficient personal transportation and industrial farming have massive externalities forcing people who want nothing to do with it to deal with it. That doesn't seem to be a concern that matters to most people.

But it is a concern, and it is being tackled in many places: gasoline is taxed very heavily. Farm subsidies are being reduced.

Just because not all externalities have been fully internalised yet, doesn't mean PoW with its massive externalities is fine.

It's not hard to make an ftrace facility for C functions. I did it with [1] and [2] (using a concept I call "stackpools") for this comment since I've had it in mind for a while, and this post pushed me to do it.

What jart's does better than mine is that hers is not opt-in; you don't have to put special macros for it. Mine requires that. Hers also can instrument all functions; mine does not get external functions.

What mine does better is that it is not a security issue wrt W^X, and it also implements scope- and function-based RAII. For example, now that I have implemented it, I can change all of my direct calls to unlock mutexes at the end of a function into destructors, and change the lock calls to use the stackpools. After doing that, then any function that buys into the system I have, and that takes a lock, will release the lock by the end of the function without anything special, just like using RAII with locks in C++.

I can turn ftracing on and off at build time as well. [3]

Using the tests/gaml/gaml_fuzz program, which is still incomplete, you can see this. Assuming the build directory is `build/`, running:

cat ../build.gaml | tests/gaml/gaml_fuzz

with ftracing turned on will give you an ftrace that looks like:

main()
y_fs_filebytes_fread()
y_strucon_handleError()
y_strucon_handleError()
y_fs_filebytes_fread()
y_strucon_status()
y_strucon_status()
y_exit()

I could make it prettier, and I probably will in subsequent commits.

In other words, it's not magic, and in my opinion, it's not really a good idea because of the security implications because while you could argue that it's only for development, it's still another route to gain access to a developer's machine or a CI machine.

I would really like to know what would happen if—in a wave of international solidarity between all the workers in the world—workers would take their profits in their own hands and away from any shareholder and overpaid non-contributing CEOs. What would happen to all these markets.

Would a company controlled by their own workers choice to funnel parts of their profits to wall street traders? Probably not. Would there be any money to be gained on the stock market in such an environment? Probably not.

So a natural question to ask then is. What value is there in the stock market which does not rely on money being siphoned away from workers?
Speaking as the author of that change, and also as a long time user of C++ (in other projects), I hear ya! But I don't have the power to make PostgreSQL switch to C++. Years ago, std::sort() vs qsort() was almost a standard example of how C++ can be faster than C.

src/lib/sort_template.h is an example of a pseudo template function, but we also have at least one pseudo template container in src/lib/simplehash.h.

And if you want to see some "policy based design" (C++ community term) in PostgreSQL C code, check out src/backend/exec/nodeHashjoin.c. It uses forced inlining to "instantiate" two different versions of the hash join executor code, one with parallelism and one without, so that we don't have all the "am I in parallel mode?" branching/code size in the generated code.

I'd beg to differ; apps and use cases are not advancing, which is why even phones from 5 years ago are perfectly capable of running modern apps. Once mobile video editing became reasonably possible, we pretty much ran out of uses for the smartphone. Everything else had been done already.

The reviewers don't get paid for doing the reviews in the peer review system..
IMO yes, since big banks and governments are looking at replacing cash with digital coins. These coins are going to use blockchain tech, most likely. At the beginning adoption will be regulated, banks will push back but I expect innovators to push banks away (we don’t need banks for gov controlled eMoney, every citizen will have an account to the Fed, ECB, etc).

So I believe it’s a pretty valuable skill. The other side of the coin is current reality: it’s still a solution looking for a problem to solve :-)
You can leave most countries and renounce citizenship, typically with some hoops to jump through but it can be done.

The questions of where you'll go and how you'll support yourself are something that you'd best figure out before starting that process, because after you start your country of origin may well say 'not OUR problem anymore' about you.
In response to which Graham Hancock slowly sits back in his chair and breathes a sigh of victorious relief.
The kinds of fusion generators that are considered for the near future produce most of their energy as kinetic energy of neutrons.

The energy of the neutrons is transformed into heat by adsorbing them into some shielding walls. The materials for those walls will be chosen to minimize the quantity of radioactive waste that is produced by the extremely intense neutron irradiation, but it is impossible to avoid completely the production of radioactive waste.

So all the fusion generators planned for the near future will generate radioactive waste, but in significantly less quantities than fission reactors of the same power.

Because they produce an intense neutron flux, like the fission reactors, the fusion reactors can also be used for element transmutation by neutron capture, e.g. for producing tritium or for producing lightly-doped silicon crystals for the high-voltage electronic devices (by transmuting silicon into phosphorus).

However, such transmutation applications usually also need the use of a neutron moderator, to slow the neutrons down to whatever speed is optimal for producing the desired isotope, e.g. tritium. For tritium, heavy water can play both roles, of the neutron moderator and of the target containing the element to be transmuted.
I think central authorities absolutely must make that call. Who else is going to decide how to dole out a scarce social resource? Americanizing healthcare is obviously not a good choice given how much worse it does overall by basically every measure (unless you're rich and don't give a toss about other people).

I certainly agree that central authorities can be better. But that's kind of a truism.

What alternative options do you have in mind? Admittedly I'm short on alternative ideas.

When you say "test" are you referring to technical coding challenges in the interview process? An interview is essentially a test, regardless of whether it contains a whiteboard coding assignment, a presentation, or even just a conversation. At the end of the day an interview is designed for a company to decide whether or not they should extend an offer to a candidate and (hopefully) for a candidate to learn about the company before potentially accepting an offer. The point of this process is for both parties to decide if they would be a good fit together. They are literally "testing" each other.
Yeah I’m on the beta and I was expecting something that could operate as a minimal Java IDE (they made lots of claims of it using the normal IntelliJ indexing and autocomplete engine), but I couldn’t get it to be much more than the equivalent of VS Code minus any compelling plugins.
That's not really the US's fault though, right? "You're free to leave, but if you want to stay here you have to abide by our rules," sounds reasonable I think. There are countries in the world where you're not free to leave even if another country will take you, and this argument would hold a lot more water.
There have been a few articles written about Turkey attempting to derive its current power legitimacy narrative by creating this story of an ancient civilization being founded within their borders. They have pointed out that this is a common trend among dictators that often stretched credulity to the limit (Sadam and Babylon, Mogabe and ancient southern Egypt, Mussolini and the Roman Empire etc) and many attempt to build up their propaganda with such connections.

Im curious how true that is, but there is a trend.

I had a brain surgery (craniectomy to remove a colloid cyst in the interventricular foramen of Monro) at 22, and while I was home from the hospital after 2 days it took over a month to get back to normal.

Just went through a round of interviews in the past 6 months (~20 phone screens, 6 in person loops, 3 offers). Not all of the companies do it. If you don't like the process, then politely decline the interview. (you probably don't want to work there anyways).

The worse to me are the interviews that ask you technology specific commands (for ops positions, especially k8s) and/or specific language constructs.
You're talking about the welfare trap. That's not what the article is about. The article is about disabled people who are unable to work being kept poor. Many people will never work because they can't and this punishes all of them.

The point is to make the crime unprofitable so people will not want to do it. This is not a crazy policy assuming the crime actually happened. The ridiculous part about civil asset forfeiture is that no one has to prove a crime even occured. The onus is on the pile of money or whatever to prove its innocence.

You can do this.

Patients are allowed to have these tests done against the recommendations of doctors (of course the costs might not be covered by insurance).

So I'm not really sure what you're arguing anymore...
Also you don't get good at assembly optimisation without understanding things like cache coherency and register allocations. New CPUs don't suddenly invalidate that ability to reason about what the problem might be and what might help (and what might not). Crucially, you already know how to adjust your existing skills to apply to new things.

It's a bit different in this case. I mean, if an admin wants to run their own silos (maybe a private instance with family/colleagues, or an instance on invite), they're free to do it. But most of the people who run their instances have their interest in those instances being discoverable, and most of the people who sign up have their interest in following and be followed by people on other instances. So no matter if there are many instances, you won't have silos if content is well discoverable. Having an account on a Fediverse instance is like having an email address: no matter if it's Gmail, Hotmail or your own SMTP server, you can still communicate with other people as long as you have their addresses.

However, this is still a bit of theoretical talk. In practice, nowadays the solutions proposed for inter-instance discoverability (relays and user directories) are still immature. The former has no filtering criteria, it's prone to spam, and many relays come and go within days/weeks. The latter is still operating at very small scales, but it's promising.

I believe that with better curated relays and user directories we can have the best of the two worlds: decentralized small instances that are easy to curate and moderate, but also well connected and discoverable. I'm considering running my own relay with instances dedicated to science and tech, but even the software for relays isn't that stable yet...

- "a few heavy-water fission plants"

It's actually tilted very far in the opposite direction. The ratio is something like 600:1 heavy-water fission to fusion. A mix of 99.8% fission and 0.2% fusion, if your fusion is relying on that as its sole source of tritium.

- "Small quantities of tritium are also produced by CANDU-type nuclear reactors—on the order of 100 grams per year for a 600 MW reactor,"

https://www.iter.org/mag/8/56

You'd need 60 kg/year for a 600 MW D+T fusion reactor.

ITAR should be shut down. Straight up. It's a complete waste of taxpayer funds taht holds no prospect of producing commercially viable power. Its design constraints were decided decades ago. Since then science and engineering has advanced a lot.

I'd love if it fusion became commercially viable but I'm doubtful it ever will. At the least the kind involving fusion atoms in a plasma for all the documented reasons, most notably plasma turbulence and the power loss and container damage from neutron escapes.

I'm not that concerned about a shortage of tritium. That's a solvable problem. In fact we probably need a variety of breeder reactors for things like this and producing plutonium for deep space probes anyway.

Fusion is a trap for many because it seems so easy. I mean the Sun is doing a lot of it. But the Sun is relatively inefficient (which is compensated for by mass) and it solves the containment problem with gravity.
