Maybe consider, oh I don't know, not deploying a spam cannon in the first place?

The good news is that this sort of thing is enough to trigger the spam filter in my email program so I'll never see it.

Companies have this astonishing arrogance assuming they should be able to interrupt actual humans with robot messages from noreply@crapcorp.com - typically marketing messages that cannot actually be replied to and do not qualify as respectful communication.
Great that it works for you, but I'm not too happy about big companies assuming that my product is connected to the internet.

Essentially any creative pursuit where:

1) Making it carries high prestige and gratification.

2) The product can be reproduced digitally and appreciated by a large audience.

3) Technology to produce it has become cheaper.

The basic market forces are sucking all the money out of it. I think it's good for a society for skilled creative people to be able to spend most of their time on their art instead of having to do it as a side gig. But we don't seem to have an economic system that currently supports it aside from a small number of lucky winners of the zeitgeist lottery.
before covid, that's completely true. since covid it's flipped the opposite - when every restaurant has a QR code instead of a printed menu, people get used to it quickly.

in the last few months, i've had visitors at events ask why we didn't have a QR code posted because they'd prefer that to typing in the name of our website.

I'm actually most looking forward to seeing a picture of our planets. I wonder what kind of resolution we'll get of Jupiter and Mars in particular.

Also curious about what the closest stars to our solar system would look like. Of course it also makes me wonder what would we be able to see given a 100x increase in aperture. Like for example if we could send up something extremely large on Starship. Would we be able to image planets in our local group? Exciting!

They just raised it from £22 to £30 per passenger. The airport wanted to raise it higher but the government refused. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/dec/16/passengers-f...

The government has clear reasons for interfering: it's nearly a monopoly due to other airports not having enough capacity, and the same companies run multiple airports. Lower flight prices encourage international tourism which is a positive externality that the airport doesn't benefit from. Obviously, the government also controls flight capacity by not approving new runways, setting noise hours, etc.
That is one of the reasons why I got into programming. Not exactly because of roguelikes but MUDs. After playing muds, and wanting to make my own I started with Diku, and then started building them from scratch in many other languages.

The ECS pattern became something really interesting to me just because of the highly serializable state.

One of the MUDs my community was involved in had a great developer behind it. It was just so amazing how fast new features were added to the system. The idea that you don't need assets, animations, etc is critical.

I would love for a book series that would cover something like this in multiple languages.
It’s still early days, but in addition to the paper the Exo language project lives here: https://exo-lang.dev

You can think of this as an attempt to take our idea of a “user-schedulable language” from Halide much farther, both in the core scheduling mechanisms, and in turning more of the rest of the compiler inside out for programmer control.

It's hard to say -- I might disagree on whether to do something like that. Most often you want to be able to keep the raw data as long as you can, in anticipation that perhaps some day, some future technique or different calibrations/processing pipeline may improve. Or that you might find (or be looking for something) you didn't expect.

Especially for a scientific instrument whose usage patterns, operating conditions, and discoveries may change over time. (sensors too) Note for an instrument like this, the amount of people/researcher time studying the data afterwards is many times more than the amount of time taking the data. The value of it is incredibly high ($/hour), so you want to keep in as future-usable state as possible.

Once you process something on board for a certain purpose, unless for very low level integrity checks that are almost mandatory, etc, and discard the raw data, you lose the chance to do that in the future.

So unless you are really transmission constrained, I think they would prefer not to do it -- also because of the additional complications involved. I think once you get into "higher functions" becoming an obligation of the telescope's operations, those satellite / defense contractors etc. who have to launch and operate the thing start making requirements that are very difficult to live by.

No, for UX reasons. If your content is primarily text and images ... then you should NEED javascript to view page. Maybe it is needed for comments, or some other feature, but the basic content should be viewable just fine. This is good both the readers, for accessibility for things like screen readers, for bandwidth and more. That doesn't mean medium OWES us this, but one can still make the critique.

AMD GCN was 64 threads/wavefront. NVidia always was 32 threads/warp.

AMD's newest consumer cards RDNA and RDNA2 are 32 threads/wavefront. However, GCN lives on with CDNA (MI200 supercomputer chips), with 64 threads/wavefront architecture.

True. My use of the word "speed" is incorrect, or at least imprecise.

The parent comment claimed that immutable data structures are slow, because you would have to copy them around, an O(N) operation.

I wanted to know if they considered that operations on immutable structures can be done without copying, and have the same algorithmic complexity as the mutable data structures, if they used persistent data structures.
This post seems related to the authors of MPS (1) that seems to be a general garbage-collector to use with various languages.

Many GC'd languages really didn't bother with stack-allocating variable-size entities, and regardless of if they did then _precicely_ scanning the stack would be complicated without compiler help.

If the compiler doesn't leave any info to the GC, then it can't know if it's scanning a pointer or a float and if your GC strategy relies on compacting memory (ie moving objects) then trying to guess between a float or a pointer can become fatal.

personally I'm a pretty big fan of opensuse tumbleweed for a rolling distribution because they ship fully tested snapshots each day rather than individual packages. If I understand the article correctly Google's Sieve is similar to the Opensuse Build Service in that regard.

It seems like they went for Debian because of the proximity to Ubuntu but I wonder if they ever considered Suse, the ecosystem is pretty good.

I do sometimes, but I'm rather sensitive for the ẞ issue: My last name contains an ß and uppercasing would either mean keeping the ß lowercase – the Personalausweis does that (†) and it looks ugly — or doing the ß → SS transformation which is somewhat forbidden in identity documents; a name must be exact. Hence, someday in the future, hopefully, the ẞ. While personal names were a major motivation for the inclusion of the ẞ into Unicode, I’m always happy to see it in the wild in press or book titles or such.

† Although it’s Germany and of course there exists an obscure Verwaltungsvorschrift according to which you can write the non-machine readable field of the Personalausweis/Pass in lowercase, exactly for this use case. I didn’t know that last time but I fully intend to make some poor civil servants life a slight hell the next time I have to renew.

This has been how I handled issues, yet I'm getting more convinced that it is not productive.

People don't learn through only repeated exposure. In the second time something happens, they should be reminded of the first time. And in the third time, they should be outright denied any explanation with a reminder of the first two incidents. Otherwise, they'll keep doing the same thing, probably because it's very low-cost to them, and I'll keep spending my precious resources.
Fair enough - I didn't mean to imply that you hadn't said that, the quote was merely to delimit the area I was addressing.

Am I correct, then, in thinking your response to people currently harmed by social structures they have no choice in interacting with is, basically, "I agree that this sucks, but I don't support changing anything to fix it."?

> (but they wrote like, six books in a year. You need to churn them out quick to make that much money, usually in series of books, not one-offs).

It helps that romance novels tend to be way on the short side. Self-published can be even shorter than the traditionally published stuff—a lot of those authors seem to get away with charging $4+ for maybe 70 pages, for each entry in their tens-of-books-long series. Much clearer path to some reasonable return than writing 350+ page thrillers or big ol' fantasy doorstops.
The news is hearsay with a veneer of officialness.

Personally the content model that's always made the most sense to me is a Kickstarter-like format where content pitches raise the funds necessary to execute on them and then distribution is free and unfettered, or don't happen at all if there's a lack of audience interest (saving the author the effort).

In particular for written content, the threshold for funding is low and the bar for execution is as well, which skirts a lot of the issues the actual Kickstarter has.

And if funding is anonymous, there isn't any direct issue with undue influence from benefactors.

There's a number of written pieces I'd happily pay to help bring into existence. And a number of other pitches that even if I wouldn't be interested in funding, I'd be interested in creating an account to vote up to increase visibility to those that would, and in both cases being notified when that content finally exists.

But I have very little interest in simply funding an author in general, or paying to access content when summaries of anything important will exist elsewhere, or even in wasting my time with free material that's over engineered towards clickbait and maximizing my scrolling to serve the most ads.

In particular, I'd love to fund a return of actual investigative journalism on topics I'd value.

We saw the short tail of this in action with Sanderson on the actual Kickstarter, but I definitely think there's a long tail model viability on a specialized platform for written content.

In any case, good luck with the new role.
Given the capacity, I would be surprised if it wasn't single-level cell NAND (larger write capacity) or redundant. From articles I could find, it was installed in the JWST in 2012[1] and developed by a company called SEAKR which produces "Solid State Recorders"[2]. Certainly doesn't look like any commercial server storage I've seen.

I imagine the contracts could be FOIAed here and specs like anticipated write capacity obtained, would be very interesting to learn about radiation hardening and redundancy for SSDs - err, solid state recorders - in space.

Somehow these arguments about cultural appropriation only ever go one way. I've never heard anyone claim that it's cultural appropriation when non-Westerners adopt -- and benefit from -- various Western schools of thought. I've never felt the urge to gate-keep, say, the germ theory of disease from non-Westerners. What right do I have to do that? What right does the author have to gate-keep Buddhism? Why do people do this? Is it insecurity?

It is a classic platform bootstrapping model. It worked with new book publishers in the 1800s too. It worked for new video game consoles, etc ...

The content creator doesn't fully trust the new publisher/platform, so they need upfront monetary assurance beyond a normal advance/royalty type deal, in case the platform fails. Likewise the platform values exclusives from big names that will drive demand for the platform. So the platform gives up potential upside to secure the exclusivity rights and the content creators get a premium.

> Does anyone honestly believe that only 5% of the Twitter accounts are bots/fake?

No, and Twitter doesn't either, and they didn't claim anything of the sort.

They said that <~5% MDAU are bots," based on an internal review of a sample of accounts and we apply significant judgment in making this determination". Which does not preclude the possibility of, like, 99% of the actual users being bots because MDAU is a tiny, tiny fraction of overall users to begin with.
Apologies, I did not mean for it to come off that way. I edited it to not make such broad brush statements.

Certainly people here and discussing it among those who get to watch these announcements during their day, are a more knowledgeable and appreciative group of the details. They have the time and info to know the "new" aspect.

Most hardware architectures (and software ones based on them) the compiler controls the calling convention: how the stack is managed, what gets pushed there vs passed in registers, and so forth. The architecture may or may not have helpers like specific "return from subroutine" instructions that help manage the stack... but a lot of things are under the compiler's control.

WASM is not like that. It doesn't support jumps or that kind of manipulation. It does not expose enough control over the stack and calling conventions.

In theory could the compiler emit a virtual machine that simulates another machine where it _can_ control these parameters? Sure. It can rewrite it all into a huge loop-and-switch statement. But that is not going to result in anything close to efficient native code. By expressing tail calls directly in WASM the JIT can generate much more efficient code that takes advantage of the platform's native calling convention and tail calls can be _actual_ tail calls on the hardware.
