I run eng at a prop fund that did over a trillion dollars worth in trading volume last year on the crypto-exchange side and that's not big. Jump is probably like colossal in comparison, and Alameda. We don't pay those fee rates, of course, but there's someone on the other side as well, and if it's retail (which it often is) they're paying retail fees.
When browsing games on the Xbox it’s the same way — just a grid of cover art in smallish tiles. No text.

Finding what I want can be very difficult if the text isn’t clearly visible in the cover art or if it’s not art I’m very familiar with.

Even the fact that it’s sorted A-Z doesn’t help because it often sorts titles starting with “The” under “T”. Sigh.

UI designers: just give me a list view option. Please.
The Origin of Unix Pipes (1964)
It's no longer a native app, it was rewritten in 2015 to be non-native. It's the same story everywhere, they're using Electron (or similar) so they can maintain one codebase for everything written in HTML/CSS/JS.
We also compare with state of the art platform-specific code. The interesting thing here is that they turn out to be slower than our approach using portable intrinsics (github.com/google/highway) :)
It is a fascinating read.

Still, I am not sure if it is a good sign that the story presented, if true, seems more intriguing than average "Blacklist" episode. I would normally default to blaming X ( in this case Holder, Pompeo and Trump as they are named in the story ), but the reality is those are just people, who just happened to use that power.

The issue is that unchecked power apparently will exist until a truly unscrupulous man uses it to his advantage ( if that did not happen already ).

Lots of companies openly state how many requests they get from each country. I think I saw a report where someone tallied all the requests from all the major sites that report on the requests they get and Germany was at the top.

For example, https://www.apple.com/legal/transparency/ Germany is at 11+k while the UK which is of similar size is at 2+k

Subnautica is fantastic. A very nice mysterious story and amazing atmosphere. I think you might be able to kill the sea creatures, but I didn't as it is really not the point. If you don't have Thalassophobia yet, you will by the end!

Exactly just a few decades ago CFC was a non issue, Lead caused no harm, smoking was good for health, and cocaine was a refreshing drink. Yet here we are again so full of ourselves that asking the question is unsettling.
A better choice would be to focus on using the cheap boards. Limitations sometimes make the clever solutions to overcome them better design and more useful to boot. Definitely educational. Think Demoscene on ancient hardware...
Tangibly related, but yes is one of my favorite apps. I use it quite often as it’s easier to just spam “yes” than dig through the man page to figure out how to make the command not ask question.

I always feel like it is the wrong way of doing it, but at the same time I just love the idea of a core utility that does nothing but spam yes.
Not exactly a farm but I have a half acre property on the edge of Los Angeles where I have substantial gardens. I have a food forest, a bunch of raised beds for annuals, a greenhouse, and an extensive compost operation.

It is really nice to be able to take a break from coding, step outside, and turn the compost.
In theory a person who believes that the NSA is engaged in illegal activity can, rather than laking classified information to the press, take evidence of the wrongdoing to the FBI. Inspectors General are also a thing. They can also go to their congresspeople.

In theory.

That someone has to resort to leaking to the press to achieve accountability is a bug in the system, it's not how things are meant to work.
They say they're using the USPS's EDDM tool, and they link to it in the post. I clicked, and skimmed until I found this:

> Choose the neighborhoods in the EDDM Online Tool where your customers live. Use the tool to target customers by specific demographics such as age, household size, and income.

So it seems like the database belongs to the government rather than the startup. It doesn't appear that this had any actual privacy impact, beyond the perception that Brave is targeting folks by name.
There are legal avenues for whistleblowing through IGs and/or Congress.

You can't write a law that gives journalists special access to classified information and giving them arbitrary information is ok, how would that even work? (That's without getting in to the complications of defining 'journalist').

If you wanted to argue that leaking information of illegal government activity in certain circumstances is an affirmative defense I could possibly get behind that, the devil would be in the details.
I think I found a perfect project for myself
I'm a developer, a good one and that is what I do the best. I have had several projects, but I've always had a chicken-egg problem (how to get customers when there are no suppliers and vice versa), how to generate content... On top of all of that, I need something that I like to work on regarding development...

A year ago I found that project but I dropped it because people told me: "Don't do it, not worth it". I mean I did launch it but for my own country which is really small.

The project is about summarizing news articles, you know pulling out the most relevant information from Bible-sized articles, saving people's time, and solving clickbait problems. With that, I solved the supplier problem, I just need to scrape news sites and have a supply. Thus it makes it easier to drive customers.

Also from a development perspective, it is super fun, I can keep improving my original summarization algorithm. So I'm bringing that project back to life
as a many-generation American, I believe that the great compromise here was to find some balance, where strong law-and-order can exist, and free-as-in-freedom can also exist.. There is no scenario, I think, where either side does not fail and suffer from their own excesses over time.. so the trick is to address that as the parade continues.. Yes, we do remember Watergate.
It's essentially a post-processing step using government data, so a supplement to the government funded programs.

I like and assign the Goldberg paper. I haven't spent much time with the Higham book; thank you for for full text link.

In my class, FP computation is something I try to teach the students to be mindful of, but it is hardly the focus of the class (about certain kinds of data visualization). FP computation arises in lots of different places in many different functions, often in the context of a larger data processing pipeline that actually starts and ends with 16-bit integers (e.g. medical imaging data). So I'm not sure how I'd thoroughly exercise the FP-related code in the way that you describe. Hence my current use of something I can easily control at the outset of the whole pipeline (the direction of rounding).

Do you have any ideas on injecting randomized rounding mode changes prior to FP ops in the assembly, or something functionally equivalent for characterizing C code (ideally without code changes)? I just found [1] which seems extremely related, but I'll have to look into whether the code still works.

This is a very bullish sign (mid-long term). They see the writing on the wall and are doing a swift full throttle u turn.

Nobody likes doing this kind of stuff, its really bad for PR, really bad for the stock (short term) and messes with morale.. So for them to do with when they have billions in cash is very kewl.

Because that is not even remotely the case as is clearly stated in the article in the first few sentences.
The default AVX offset for Ice Lake is indeed only 100MHz (and it doesn't exist starting with Rocket Lake), but 512b SIMD instructions use a lot of power, and as a result generate a lot of heat - so they certainly can cause thermal throttling or throttling due to power limits
Any high level diagram usually needs one of the architects to produce it manually in the context of the audience and what aspect they specifically need to know about the structure/logic

In most complex systems the part where the magic happens is likely impossible for a tool to identify so would get lost in the noise of the cruft around it -- even for monoliths using frameworks and especially for anything distributed across microservices, and it's usually that aspect that is of most interest
Or it can be is as simple as saying a caste system is dumb, Americans and I assume other nationalities find it fascinatingly backward. The idea that there are “upper” and “lower” castes is inherently discriminatory that seem abundantly obvious and there’s no real nuance to it.
Depends on what you mean by “discuss them”, maybe you can elaborate on what you’re referring to and under what circumstances. I don’t think there’s any country on earth that has absolute freedom of speech. Certain things are illegal to say for good reasons, because they can do real harm to other people.
My comment has no bearing on the facts of this case, or my opinions on state secrets

The fact of the matter is the warrant system, a non-adversarial system based on flimsy assertions and often out right lies by police and agents is not now, and likely never has been a check on government power

Vegetable garden is on 300m2. Fruit trees on 500m2 expanding it to another 500m2 and planning to add chicken, dwarf goat and geese. 1.3ha is mown by a farmer to make hay bales, in exchange for 2 bales. Rest is buildings (main house, guest house, yoga studio, dependencies) and garden.
Intel 10th gen mobile and 11th gen mobile and desktop, excluding Pentium and Celeron, have AVX-512. And all 12th gen have it on the P cores but not the E cores. If the E cores are enabled then AVX-512 is unavailable.
Agree that this is effectively arguing semantics, and it is taking energy from the wind. But the effect of each _is_ very small. There are definitely farms with >100 turbines close together. This one has >600 and has long runs of them close together.

If I'm understanding the EDDM tool correctly, the data broker appears to be the USPS.
Amazon bought the naming rights to Seattle's newly-renovated NHL arena and named it the "Climate Pledge Arena."
Maybe Nixon meant safe reactors instead of meltdown-prone LWRs.
Yes, exactly. Hmm... maybe, and hear me out here, just maybe there isn't a lot of value in completionism for completionism's sake?
They didn't work with a data broker. You can pay the post office in the US to send your mailer to every single address in a given zip code. This sort of bulk mailing represents the majority of your junk mail.
Of course. Companies will not spend money without expecting something back. But the sponsorships are not very obvious and you have to ready pretty far down on the about pages to find out. I would be surprised if 10% of the visitors to the arenas knew about the sponsorship.

In these cases I think it's mostly about employer branding and I think it's communicated much more within the sponsoring companies.
Right, just wanted to clear up the concept.

The reference you gave measure blood or urine samples which would probably not be representative of epithelial cells.

Recruiting handles those emails and they're usually not privy to strategic decisions since they're not really strategic operators.
Management is often not privy to these details. I doubt more than two dozen people knew about the news internally before they publicly disclosed it.
Very cool work! What do you see as the typical process of getting code like this into use in well known codebases? I'm trying to get a sense of when a typical engineer (operating with higher level language or libraries) might get to take advantage of this.

Thanks for open sourcing!
Don’t think so. Almost every third party app does downloading right except Apple’s. It’s like they don’t even try to recover at all. You can’t resume updates - only on Apple related software. I remember spending 5 days trying to update to Mojave because the update kept failing.
Sounds like a halfway house of getting good working relations with contractors (as individuals not companies) might be a way out of this. I mean a working relationship, not just one based entirely on pay.

No, would that help? I am however using SPF and one of DKIM / DMARC (I forget which). But anyway, I can live with a mail missing here and there. It is just annoying and isn't right.
This is very useful! Thanks for building this.

I found a minor bug though: the `credentials not found` error message doesn't go away after you've put in the correct credentials.
> This lawyer was informing the FBI on the journalist's source

The lawyer introduced the journalist to the source. So at the very least, the source seems to have trusted the lawyer too.

It also sounds like the lawyer provided the journalist with the audio recordings of phone calls about the ambush.

The only reason you cannot say Coinbase is isn't a scam is because it is impossible to prove that the people involved were lying in regards to the viability of crypto not being effectively a Ponzi scheme.
Yes, we can sort 64-bit ints. The speedup on AVX2 is roughly 2/3 of the 10x we see on AVX-512.
Longsort appears to be an autovectorized sorting network. That's only going to be competitive or even viable for relatively small arrays (thousands). See comments above on djbsort.

Why not use whichever AVX the CPU has? Not a problem when using runtime dispatch :)

If we go by definitions, it is not encrypted.
Ideally encryption means the process of encoding when only authorized parties can understand the information.

During the transportation of the information for the target recipient, the data in this case is on plaintext at some point on Telegram's server, and therefore it is not encrypted for the whole duration, going against the idea of transferring or holding information only for authorized parties in ciphertext format.

If we think that Telegram is the targeted party, then it would be encrypted as data is transferred or hold in ciphertext format for the whole process. However the Telegram is no the target, and the encryption is removed in the middle of process.

> Please point to where I have weaponized a word because on its face that accusation doesn't make any sense. I have not decided encryption means unencrypted. I have doggedly insisted words be used appropriately and even went so far as to give an example of mischaracterization of E2EE where I would call someone out.

You brought it up in the first place with a twisted definition.
I suppose I'm not even sure it is an American position. If it ever was, I don't think it is now, or has been for several generations. We're not farmers or fur traders anymore — we have complex and large societies.

Honestly I think trying to suggest anything is "an American viewpoint" dismisses too much nuance. We're neither all cut from the same cloth nor are our origins similar.
I think ranked choice voting is too nerdy for much of the general public to understand; not the principle of it but the actual practice of how to tally votes and calculate the winner. Given the choice between a voting system the public demonstrably tolerates even though it isn't mathematically fair, and a voting system that is mathematically fair but is likely to cause confusion and distrust in elections, I prefer the former.

You could change my mind by showing that ranked choice voting systems can be taught to even the most common of midwits.

Third problem on cheap induction cookers: the power control via +/- keys is too coarse in the low region. E.g. for cooking buckwheat, 600W is too much (the water boils too intensively, especially near the end), while 400W is not really enough, and there is nothing in between. Fortunately, 12 minutes @ 600W + 8 minutes @ 400W yield an acceptable result.
Thanks Mr. Literal. Obviously not true that nobody knows it from the song, since the OP posted it himself. But the ratio is likely 9-to-1 or better.
And yet it's verision of freedom of speech is in my opinion still stronger than the US.

In Germany, there is Meinungfreiheit, which is freedom of opinion. This freedom cannot override others rights tho. So your right to an opinion may not infringe on someone else. For example, you can't insult others in a way that dehumanes them. However, you can insult people just not in a way that dehumanes them. A German court found an employer couldn't fire an employee just because they called them an autistic asshole in a text message. The employee was entitled to his opinion that the employer was an autistic asshole. It did not dehuman the employer because it was done privately and did not interfer with the operation of the business. So in Germany, private companies are not allowed to breach your rights, unlike in the US where it only applies to the goverment.
Turing Test isn't necessarily a great story, but is interesting to play.

Sorry if I'm not specifically hitting the nail on the head, every game I can think of with an awesome story has some amount of violence in it.
It's especially horrible if you have lots of playlists, and like to add playlists from Apple Music to your library.

You can't add Apple Music playlists to playlist folders, and playlists can only be sorted alphabetically. On the Mac, your playlist folders are on top; then Apple Music playlists & your playlists are mixed together. On iPhone, it's reversed; Apple Music playlists, then your folders, forcing you to scroll all the way down to get to your playlists. And on Mac you can't add a song to a new playlist in a playlist folder directly; you need to add a song to a new playlist, and drag that playlist (that isn't highlighted) all the way up to the right folder. Yuck.
It might not be exactly what you’re looking for, but there are already movements that are pushing back against many of the ways in which AI is used to curtail human existence.

That is, people are already organizing against AI as deployed to accelerate modes of domination, control exploitation: workers employed in dataset labeling — particularly displaced people — who are exploited by big tech; tenants rights organizations fighting against use of biometric technologies like facial recognition; those who are organizing to oppose mass serveillance; activists trying to address the use of AI in discriminatory lending, policing; Indigenous activists pushing back against impact of NLP on Native and “low resource” languages.

Marx talks briefly about the potential benefits and harms of automatons — ultimately it’s an issue of who gets to control the technology, does power rest in the hands of a few elites or are is it accountable to “everyday” people. You might find this article “The Nonmachinables” https://logicmag.io/distribution/the-nonmachinables/
relevant.

To sum up, a lot is happening and there’s a lot of potential solidarity if we look beyond the “ML engineer” class bubble.

From the second paragraph:

> Since 2020, Brave has been experimenting with direct mail via the United States Postal Service’s Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM) program. EDDM allows businesses in the US to create and distribute mailers to addresses across one or more ZIP Codes.

I'm not sure where you got "tracking" from, but they're just sending mail to every address in a zip code.

I think this vastly overestimates how efficiently corporations are actually run.

I've been in meetings with executives at several public companies. When the topic of adjusting HC or spending money comes up, usually those conversations happen in a ratio of 50% politics, 40% wild-ass opinion, and 10% data. And almost always, the "data" are completely cherry-picked, highly speculative nonsense that someone asked a BI team to produce to support their own political agenda. Now, I wouldn't say that means Coinbase is healthy, or unhealthy, but IMO there is pretty much zero correlation between their actions and having some kind of crystal ball on the market.
For a data point, the UK has a large number of offshore wind farms that contribute 13% of our electricity supply. On shore is 11%.

It's proving cost effective and sustainable. In some ways we are fortunate as we have a long history of offshore engendering with North Sea oil, the expertise there has translated well to offshore wind.
