It's more nuanced than that though 75% smaller is a fourth the size (I guess depending on where you're looking from).

A710 had a uop cache.

A710 had 4 decoders but it was like Intel's decoders where one (I assume one, but less than all of them) decoder could decode anything and the others could decode common instructions, but would block and send complex decodes to the complex one. A715 now has not just 5 decoders, but every one of them can decode anything reducing pipeline complexity and increasing theoretical throughput (depending on how often those complex instructions would be used).

A710 did instruction fusion in the uop cache, but A715 now does it in the L1 cache during fetch which increases effective instruction throughput by occasionally turning 2+ instructions into one.

Finally, A710 used a uop cache. The decoders would fill the uop cache at a rate of 4 instructions per cycle (less if one of those complex decodes happened). Once the uop cache would fill, it would provide 5 instructions per cycle to the rest of the frontend.

If A710 could prefetch and keep the uop cache full and there were always enough loops to reuse some parts while others were refilling, then you could keep the full 5 instruction theoretical output. A715 gets rid of all these exceptions making it more consistent.

In truth, the final difference is definitely less than 20% in the real world, but even a 0% increase in throughput while getting rid of 75% of your transistors would still be a massive win.

Apps probably don’t but networking related code might benefit a lot from DPDK.
While I don't disagree with the idea that anime has been very popular and influential in recent years, this author makes the argument that it is a completely one sided arrangement, that anime is the complete soul of the vast majority of creative works today, not a global exchanging of ideas. Yes, many pre-eminent filmmakers love anime and have for decades, but animation and cinema did not begin with Studio Ghibli. Modern anime was inspired by early manga like Astro Boy which was inspired by animated Disney and Warner Bros which was inspired by newspaper cartoons and so on and so forth. I've seen this argument in my friends who are big fans of anime, and it can be very exciting to see an art form you're so fond of get widespread recognition, but it seems meaningless and a bit dishonest to frame it as the end all and be all in a global world.
Mmm, maybe. Average occupancy of buses is usually only around 40%, which probably pushes them above the per-passenger emissions of a modern aircraft, and being typically diesels, they have other emissions than CO2 to worry about.

On a personal note, I also hate bus travel with a passion — it's mind-numbingly slow, you have limited ability to move around, it's sometimes too cramped to work, when toilets are available they're tiny and awful, etc. I love train travel and will use trains whenever available, sometimes even for multi-day journeys, but I will take significant detours or even rearrange travel plans to avoid a bus.
As this article is firewalled I don't know if this is mentioned in the article, but I heard a Toyota exec (I think it was) once express the following theory for preferring plug-in hybrids to EVS: As most people drive under 30 miles/day most days, and batteries are a limited resource, by giving millions of people 10-40 miles (depending on the model) instead of a few hundred thousand people 300 miles that they almost never use, you end up saving way more energy. Of course this is merely aspirational; they haven't sold millions of plug-in hybrids, but they have sold millions of hybrids (6m+!), and the argument extends in slightly weaker form to their whole hybrid line, so it doesn't sound on-the-face-of-it stupid.
Another +1 for SC2. This game is great in and of itself, but it also punishes camping. If you camp you will be destroyed, so you have to build an army and fight. Games are pretty short (~20min) so there is a pretty quick feedback loop as well
so a bit like Opera Mini [0]

> Opera Mini was derived from the Opera web browser. Opera Mini requests web pages through Opera Software's compression proxy server. The compression server processes and compresses requested web pages before sending them to the mobile phone. The compression ratio is 90% and the transfer speed is increased by two to three times as a result. The pre-processing increases compatibility with web pages not designed for mobile phones. However, interactive sites which depend upon the device processing JavaScript do not work properly.

The transistor was invented at Bell Labs by William Shockley, John Bardeen and Walter Brattain in 1947.

William Shockley founded Shockley semiconductors. Eight researchers working there, known as the "traitorous eight" left to form Fairchild Semiconductor. Engineers at Fairchild are responsible for many key innovations in semiconductor manufacturing processes.

Gordon Moore, head of R&D at Fairchild left to form Intel in 1968.

... So you could say that Bell Labs indirectly birthed Intel :)

It was simply that I ended up with a lot of windows: an ide, a browser for the site I was building, the debugger for it (and I wanted to switch between them fast), my music app, the company mandated chat app, browser windows with google searches, file browsers, terminals and so on.

In the end it was much faster to use the switchers in more traditional managers like Gnome and while you can stack/tab windows they still take up space.

Finally, and I think most importantly, while I was using an ultrawide screen at the time, and it was definitely nice to be able to easily split it in two or three windows quickly, I mostly don't need a tileable screen.

If by "back in the day" you mean the half-century following WWII, the USA had it uncommonly good: dirt-cheap post-secondary education, increasing upward mobility for everyone, low cost of living relative to income, and pensions. That's 3 of the 5 Social Determinants of Health, arguably better on average throughout the 1950s-1990s than post-2008.

To the extent there is a wealth surplus now, it hasn't reached most people. Some of our current situation (including what you call diseases of affluence) feels linked to increasingly insecure prospects of housing, income, and retirement for the people who our increasingly labor-automated economy is leaving behind.

There's two parts to the story I want somebody to explore further

1) was the encroaching driver doing this consciously, and was it because it was automated driving? Ie was this harrassment?

2) Why are Waymo being (as somebody else said) so sketchy about contact to them and the driver? Is this just hanlon's law and the phone # was mistranscribed or are they deliberately avoiding contact because "reasons"
Not presented in the App Store; both android and iOS still have a permission system, but you need to download the app before you can see what permissions the app has asked for.
> For really long distance flights, yes things are OK, but i'm flying over 5 hours maybe a couple times per year and never did since covid. But on "short" haul (intra EU) flights, and these are typically 3-4 hours from where i live, there is now either no premium service at all or "euro business", which is economy with middle seat blocked, best case with a transformer seat that slightly increase seat width by moving inner armrests inwards, but even that is a rarity

This seems to really be a European thing. Proper domestic business class still exists in Australia (on premium carrier flights between most major cities–even between Sydney and Melbourne, which is only about 1 hour), and I'm not aware of any plans to discontinue it. Similarly, in Japan, domestic flights have first class and business class (never been on either–but both are better seats, as opposed to just blocking off seats in economy). Business class with proper seats is available on domestic flights in China too. First/business class on shorter US domestic flights looks pretty crappy, but I believe it is much better for the longer US domestic flights (such as JFK-LAX nonstop, or Hawaiian's BOS-HNL nonstop route).

The US turned theirs off earlier this year and then turned the money shredder on in June.
They were salaried engineers paid to carry, not for the calls. The people carrying were capable of initiating remedial action and of knowing which engineer to call if it really needed midnight engineering.

Consider yourself schooled, and let the realization percolate.

It turns out now that their remedy, HFCs, also have ~2500x GHG heat forcing potential over CO2. Fluorine compounds already released account for 10% of heat forcing beyond natural level. The implication is that even if we were to remove all the added CO2, we still could not get back to the preindustrial condition.

There is a very large effort going on as I write this to phase out HFCs and substitute a new refrigerant less harmful if released. Big industrial refrigeration systems have returned to using ammonia refrigerant as a way to avoid involvement in another big rollout.

> Apple didn't have permissions

Huh? Apple has always had permissions; Apple calls them "entitlements". Some of them are granted on install (like Game Center or Siri intents); some of them also require explicit user permission (like push notifications or contacts access).

What Apple doesn't do is list entitlements in the App Store. This is because users don't generally need to be aware of them; entitlements with significant security or privacy implications are always coupled with an explicit permissions prompt, and many entitlements represent internal details of how an app works which users don't need to be aware of.

It’s typically done when end to end latency is more important than full protocol compliance and hardening against myriad types of attackers. High frequency trading is typically where the applications where you see these sorts of implementations being really compelling.

For these types of applications there are proprietary implementations that you can buy from vendors that are more suited to latency sensitive applications.

The next level of optimization after kernel bypass is to build or buy FPGAs which implement the wire protocol + transport as an integrated circuit.
Culture is constantly in dialogue with what came before. The very first anime took their inspiration from Disney; one of the biggest '80s mecha shows got its start from a GI Joe spinoff, while another took heavy inspiration from an adaptation of Starship Troopers. And what "anime" is doing in the '90s is very different from what "anime" is doing in the '10s - doubly so if you're going deeper than Miyazaki (who mostly made very Disney-like westernised things - not a bad thing by any means, but not at all representative of the wider landscape).

In the end talking about being "inspired by anime" is as facile as talking about being "inspired by movies" or "inspired by television".
Can confirm.

People outside academia seem to believe that reproducibility is an explicit goal when publishing papers. Perhaps it should be, but generally speaking it isn't. Instead a paper is a record of the things the authors found interesting and novel when doing the work.
My understanding is that hydrogen has a much brighter future in commercial vehicles where fueling station logistics can be much more deliberately planned. I know Toyota does commercial vehicle sales, but I don't know what their hydrogen fuel cell commercial fleet development looks like.
I love how Zig is pushing the state of the art forward. I have some expertise in the area, and I think the future is in languages that prioritize simplicity and developer velocity like Zig is doing.

> The core team will then be able to begin thinking about: ... Exploring hot-code-swapping

Hot code swapping, plus Zig's ability to cross-compile, plus release-safe's memory assistance without mental overhead, all seem to come from one underlying drive: support and empower the programmer without getting in their way.

When designing a language, it's important to keep the user's ultimate goal in mind: making useful software. For some domains that might mean adding restrictions, but for other domains it means getting out of the programmer's way and making language mechanisms and tooling so they can iterate, experiment, and build faster.

I'm particularly excited about Zig's future in webassembly, where many safety concerns are already handled by sandboxing. It's amazing to read that someone ported an entire game to webassembly with Zig.
Storage in the cars? No. But the infrastructure is lacking. Many people who own a Toyota Mirai (hydrogen) refill it at their Toyota dealership (far less convenient than the electrical grid) and are limited to around 80% fuel capacity (since you need 10,000 PSI to fully fill the tanks).

His new supersteel (MagnaCut) is doing really crazy things in the knife world at the moment. Science of Sharp also deserves a shoutout for some interesting work on microscopic images of various sharpening techniques and steels.

Steel quality is also important to physical security (e.g. fasteners, locks, doors) which in turn underpins many assumptions of digital security.

> Basic math suggests that a place with more population would have an outsized say that overrides a place with lesser population

Keep in mind we're talking about the EC, which makes the problem you're describing _worse_. Like I mentioned, the EC is still largely dependent upon state population, so it doesn't actually force you to win more states or even a substantially different set of states compared to the most populous ones. But since almost all states give out EC votes based on plurality vote, it means winning those population centers you talking about _does_ actually override the votes of the entire rest of the state. In NY, ~37% of the state voted for the Republican in 2020, but 100% of the EC votes went to the Democrat.

You're complaining that NY would get an outsized say if the EC was gone, but are ignored the fact that due to the EC cities like NYC are _already_ getting an outsized say in the presidential election. They benefit from getting to effectively control all the EC votes given to their state, even though a substantial portion of that population doesn't even agree with how they are proportioned. Same thing with California and various other states.

If your concern is instead just that small states won't get represented during the presidential election, then I hate to tell you that they're already completely ignored. I think switching to a direct vote could actually help them get more say, as the proportion of the vote you get from those states could be relevant.

> You want representatives to represent the populace, look no further than the House of Representatives. The Senate is disproportionately represented on purpose. It was designed this way, on purpose.

Sure, but the comment above was specifically about the EC, as was mine. The EC is a completely different beast from the Senate, and arguably was not designed to work this way anyway.
Unfortunately, one side wants to destroy our democracy while the other is completely feeble and inept at even pushing back against them. You still need to pick a side in our first past the post elections. Sitting independently in the middle is to sit and watch the world burn.
