>So if it turns out that your car dealer can remotely disable your car and they announce that starting September 1st, you will no longer be able to start it. You would not consider that theft?

As mentioned in my previous comment, it would be wrong but not theft specifically. Someone breaking into my garage and smashing my car isn't theft, it's vandalism.
These don't seem like good reasons to guard your brain from being exposed to him, they sound like good reasons not to be his friend.

I actually think Calibre's kitchen-sink approach is great. By-and-large I don't really need the fifty things it does to be best-in-class. If it's good enough, then it's fewer UNIX-style utilities I need to download on top of my existing installation.

For example, for end-to-end ebook creation or editing, I would probably download Sigil. But for the majority of e-book edits that I do (generating or fixing a broken Table of Contents, correcting the odd typo here and there, looking at the CSS rules that are causing the book to display weirdly on my Kobo, etc), Calibre's e-book editor is fine.
One of those fonts that puts the 0 in 3270.

Fair, although a lot of those examples you'd need to squint pretty hard to see an election. Hong Kong also "elected" Beijing's preferred candidate recently. No candidates representing the actual people of Hong Kong were allowed to run...
People have different ideas of what this common idea of "nothingness" after death even means. I hadnt considered that. But it is perhaps irrelevant, within the framework of thinking I have about these things.

If there's nothing after death. That will last forever. This nothingness will be an infinite nothingness after death. Then, even if the experience of nothingness is timeless/instantaneous, the infinitude of this nothingness becomes qualitatively different. Because you can't have infinity pass instantaneously. Say there's some point after which there's infinitely no life. Then, and only then, this forever of nothingness is as good as experienced. A paradoxically instantaneous yet infinite time of non experience. Essentially a non experience, that we can't experience, forever. At that extreme it becomes akin to an experience. This is how I could agree one could imagine there is nothingness forever after death.

Still there remains the issue of whether or not this nothingness actually occurs. If it's the case that it does, how are we not there already? Almost surely, I'd find myself in the infinitely dead timespan of the universe rather than in the relatively zero sized timespan of the universe in which life exists. The infinitely unconscious tail end of the universe would be like an inescapable trap.

The idea that if infinite experience of any sort exists I would be experiencing it already also requires some justification. To me, I lean more toward the ideas of determinism, and that time isn't so absolute as we tend to experience it. The block universe, perhaps. I think that the theories of relativity lend credence to this seeing as they show us that time is very real but that there is no absolute reference frame from which time is ticking along at the same rate always for everyone within it. Add to these ideas that you could have woken up at any time in the past, as someone living hundreds of thousands of years ago, but did not. Equally, there's no reason why you didn't wake up as anyone in the future. Contentious, I know, but that goes along with my "b theory" belief of time. And we are living in the future, compared to those who found themselves waking up in the past. Why did you wake up into this particular body? Why not one of the past or future? Why not as anybody else? Why did I wake up as me? And then imagine, if ever I "wake", just as I woke into this body, into some experience that is infinite, then I will be trapped forever.
It has been increasingly annoying to play video games nowadays, take the recent Call Of Duty releases, I don't like playing multi-player I just want to play the 3-4 hours campaign and yet to do that I need a Battle.net account and need to be online, also I can't just install the single player campaign I need Warzone.

Ubisoft is also a hot pile of mess with their Ubisoft buggy client that constantly needs an internet connection.
The way this works in general is you build silos around these kinds of things (similar things happen when companies need to work on military tech, they end up isolating things to avoid some liability transfers).

This is also beyond the general thing which is that you often have national-level subsidiaries that are only "sales partners" or the like.

I do think there's also some differences depending on the kind of goods sold. Binance existing and theoretically helping with circumvention of sanctions probably make it a beautiful target.

As a youngster who has had to pick up a saw and chisel to repair an old chair, I think you're looking back with rose tinted glasses a bit. I've never been astonished by legacy code, as much as bemused for the lack of object orientation, data normalization, etc. The technology changes of course, but there are advancements made in craftsmanship/techniques.

There's some 'cleverness' lost probably, in the new ways vs the old. I've seen some pretty novel approaches to what should be simple tasks in legacy code. And I do recognize that for what it is. But as impressive as that cleverness can be, I think it's one of the reasons as to why a lot of legacy code persists and nobody wants to touch it. Among many other reasons.
I would be curious to know which RISC-V V implementation the author is talking about.

> If you imagine how a physical CPU or GPU has to be constructed in order to do large multi-input operations (...) You can imagine these inputs as being in "lanes" that are arranged across the chip such that the inputs to each lane are stored near the lane.

This is not how a GPU register bank works at all.
GPU register file are SRAM banks and operand collector are used to handle register-read latency. And there is a big cross-bar between the register banks and the operands collectors.

And for CPU Vector unit and SIMD unit, I only know two implementations (the CVA6 ARA vector unit and an industrial closed source one) but neither of them do registers storage within/near the lane.

Author's assumption on microarchitecture seems questionable to me.

PS: The ARA RISC-V V implementation used a mask unit to handle mask. Which makes the mentioned problem irrelevant

The C-128 had both a Z-80 for CP/M, and a 2 Mhz version of the 6510 (the 8502). Could only run the 8502 at full speed with the regular graphics processor off/using the 80 character display.
I think the "go fast" guy is right. The problem with really old classics is that they have been imitated a lot. I had the same issue with "War & Peace" - I felt like I have read the book a 1000 times before. I find Chekov and Bulgakov to be far more interesting. Their work is shorter and hits harder.
Humans aren't herd animals and live much outside of nature (we try as much as possible). Who would you say is more powerful - a twenty year old man who can perform much physical labor, or an 80 year old with a few million in the bank? In America, looking at their leaders; I'd go so far as to say it's gerontocracy.

Would you mind describing the mechanism responsible for the ants optimizing the path? I would assume that once a path is established it become self-reinforcing as more ants follow it and drop their pheromones.

Is it that the ants that randomly begin taking the shortest path complete trips more quickly, thereby increasing the pheromone concentration along the shorter path? Still, it seems difficult to overcome the sheer amount of pheromones being laid across the longer but more popular path...
> As a customer / end-user, though? Nope. I absolutely hate it. Maybe I'm just getting old but I'm extremely nostalgic for the days where I got to decide if I the upgrade was worth it to me or not. These days things will change and move you on without any notice or opt-in what-so-ever.

Yeah, even as someone who works as a developer, it seems that in all but a few cases the development organizations have a massively more control about how things are done than they should (which usually manifests as a veto by saying X is too hard/expensive). The overall effect is to make software crappy and annoying in ways that are less technical, and thus less likely to be fixed. Shipping on physical media put a technical constraint that helped keep that social problem in check.
Typically they are referring to their best life, but most will never make it, because things like this, or racism, discrimination, trauma, bills, all get in the way and make them fall behind. Pretty soon they add up and you can never catch up to your best life. You either settle for what you have; peacefully or bitterly.
you have any recs for lower-end bare metal providers?
Technically it doesn’t require syntactic extensions, postgres stores the column index as the `attnum` attribute column of the `pg_catalog.pg_attributes` system table.

So this could be made to work by hooking into the storage system and rewriting the table and all pointers to the table when `attnum` is updated.

Without this rewriting this only works if the table was just created and has no data, and no external metadata referencing the columns themselves e.g. views, fks, indexes, defaults, rules, …

An alternative would be to add automatic packing (à la rustc) to postgres, decorrelating the “table position” and the “physical position” of the rows, this would also allow free “table position” reordering.

And while it’s by far the most complex option, one of the nice bits with it would be that the system columns could be packed as well. Currently there’s quite a bit of waste because there are 6 system columns (by default), the first 5 are 4 bytes, but the 6th (ctid) is 6 bytes, meaning 2 bytes of padding if your first column is a SERIAL, and 6 if the first column is a BIGSERIAL (or an other double-aligned column).
It may be vaguely educational daycare, but it's the tool that our society has developed that permits one or both parents to have jobs or careers. As you say, taking that away hurts the poorest the hardest (and rich and powerful, not at all. Ask Gavin Newsom how much disruption his kids experienced). As a side note, it's becoming increasingly well-known that one of the side-effects of Covid control polices is a large reduction in the position of women in the workplace.

Also - while what you say may be true, and there may be some merit to a lifestyle that does not depend on such "daycare", such a lifestyle was also not possible under lockdowns.

The quality of reviews are the real problem I think. People could leave a 5 star review because they have a bias towards the product/service or could leave a 1 star because they're having a bad day.

What I think is needed is for companies to incentivise higher quality reviews. Breaking review in categories so I can understand exactly what's 5/5 and what's 1/5 about the product/service. Weight ratings with detailed explanations and photos. Moderate spammy / unhelpful comments. Allowing the owner to respond. All these massively increase the value of a review.

I'm not sure there's much you can do about the odd unfair 1 star rating. There are always going to be people who dislike your product/service and they should probably have the right to express than dislike. However, I think in the case you're describing if the rating was broken into categories and the reviewer 1 stared every category, you can probably assume it's low quality and negatively weight it. The owner should be able to respond to comments like this and provide their side of the story. I use Trustpilot a lot and I'm often happy to over look the odd negative review when a company provides a convincing explanation and apology in response to negative comments.

I guess to answer your question, I think the issue is more that we tolerate low-effort reviews where people can just hit 1 star button with a one sentence explanation and their review is weighted the same as someone who spends 30 minutes providing a detailed review.
Georgia lets you buy liquor without a membership but it’s a separate store within a store that has its own entrance. Corporations and families are also limited to owning 2 liquor stores in the state so only 2 Costcos sell liquor.
Also this depends on the color calibration of your computer and monitor chain, so merging adjacent colors would effectively be a good idea.
I'm a horrible hoarder but I've also had a kindle and have been using Calibre since it started. You can store a ridiculous amount (thousands+) of books on a Kindle but as soon as you do that the interface slows to a crawl, it's really unpleasant to use at that point. Just page turning in your library takes seconds and I think it only lists 10-20 books a page.. oof.

I bounce between books a LOT. I don't read daily or anything and no speed reading skills but I'm usually reading 5-10 at a time and I fall asleep to audiobooks.
Idk if you're serious or not, but this site actually does ranked voting: you don't get to choose your favorite color out of 17M, but you rank pairs. The problem here is that you can vote a variable number of times. I guess it's possible to come up with different algorithms to determine the winner.
Erm... As someone who has embraced digital purchases, what?!

That depends, are you the health inspector? But yeah, unless you live in an area where the average home is 400k+ and the average car is a Mercedes your local grocery stores will be "grimey". Not really dirty, but staffed by people who (rightfully) aren't paid enough to care. By comparison Costco is basically sterile.

WARNING: back button shenanigans
If you focus on a single aspect and ignore all the other issues, sure, there's no problems whatsoever. But when gig economy jobs are the only jobs available for a certain person, it's hard to argue that they're entering those fully voluntarily. The only alternative to them is starving or getting assistance. In the case of Uber, they can cause long-term issues for workers who gamble on buying a car for the job. Additionally, they cause the higher paying versions of the job to disappear, cause taxes to go away, and force employees into not being able to plan for the future. As much as I enjoy having a single mini-cucumber delivered to my door in 10 minutes for a few euros (thanks, Gorillas), there are some extremely negative things that come with those jobs having replaced other better paying jobs.
Still very rough years for Russia. Still as tone deaf as observing that since grandma has suddenly died the ecological footprint of the family greatly improved.
Yeah I wonder how dumb journalists are sometimes for accepting evasive answers from politicians.

If they don't want to say something they should just say that. I totally agree with this guy tbh.
I didn't know Obama was a comedian... But then again knowing the standards for those from left I suppose it could be true.
And this is why I went separate AP from router. You can easily get a commercial grade Wifi AP that doesn't do anything else other than WiFi. They're stable and include the latest standards.

Meanwhile, I run my own Linux router on a Raspberry Pi. It covers all the wacky edge case needs I have such as Wireguard, VRFs, VLAN, etc.
Those are both the cases where there is a public demand for nepotism, though. People want to see the next generation of the royalty, perhaps more than the kingmakers want to supply it. For that matter, sports is similar but slightly more meritocratic; lots of "Known Athlete Jr." out there in most sports, all of whom are at least good enough to play, but some of them only barely.

Excellent link. I can't recommend this book highly enough.
The answer to your question is contained within the linked article.

> Lawyers say this structure means Binance is protected from direct U.S. sanctions that ban U.S. firms from doing business in Iran. This is because the traders in Iran used Binance's main exchange, which is not a U.S. company. But Binance does run a risk of so-called secondary sanctions, which aim to prevent foreign firms from doing business with sanctioned entities or helping Iranians evade the U.S. trade embargo. As well as causing reputational damage, secondary sanctions can also choke off a company's access to the U.S. financial system.

I know it's the internet and everyone just reads the headline but you could at least Ctrl- or Cmd-F before commenting.
Why do you think the parishes around Chicago are normative for Catholicism? The impression I get when I hear about it is that things are pretty bad there. On the other hand, a lot of young Catholics that I know listen to shows like New Polity.
Well, if the only thing that could take down the Iranian government is its own people, then perhaps them having an alternative currency to trade with the world and ease their economical situation is actually the best possible thing for the survival of their government.
No, the bills author specifically referrered to people suffering understandable "tragic" consequences if they got too close to police, justifying police killing them. If you think there was a reasonable argument for the violence perpetrated in either of my 2 examples then I very much don't think we are on the same page.
Abuse exists in pretty much any aspect of procurement, from building roads with inflated contractor prices to producing "analysis" from consultants who happen to be friends with the relevant minister. The private sector is not immune either, with plenty of shareholders money being funneled to the sales guy with the best golf routine.

Part of the solution is better law enforcement, which would include whistleblowing on your corrupt friends. Part is better oversight - and here you should bring it up with your national government, since EU authorities typically have little power to impose that once money has been disbursed to local entities.
So monads are from functional programming, right? 10 years or so ago they were all the hype on here. I tried to follow so many Youtube (and written) tutorials on Monads, but I never understood.

Maybe I should try again not that I'm a bit older and more experienced...
I'm not qualified to comment whether this is a significant issue or not.

What puzzles me though is that as RISC-V is an open source ISA there should presumably be discussion of pros and cons and documentation of the decision to use this approach rather than that used in AVX and SVE. I would expect that this would help to settle the point.

And yet several hours after Casey has raised this issue I can see no references either here or on Github.

Edit: There is a thoughtful and extensive response now on GitHub (but without links to the original discussions) - which includes:

> Having separate mask registers as some, but by no means all, other ISAs do was explicitly considered by the working group, and rejected. Some members were for it, but not sufficient to do it. The implications of the decision were, I believe, well understood.

> There are many places in the design of RISC-V intended to make simple implementations simple, and high performance implementations possible, as possibly a little extra complexity in the already-complex implementations that can best afford it.

which seems clear.
Why would we expect "learning loss" (whatever the term is for reduced learning outcomes) to follow such a neat trend?

If you neglect a kid for a year, then we don't expect the damage to persist only for a year. Why would this be any different?
That’s the best part of it all - watching the media, bureaucrats, and others wash their hands of this mess they all demanded without debate or inquiry.
>If you want to do business with the west, you follow its rules or you stick to doing business with your own sphere of influence only.

same with many big american tech companies who apply american laws (dmca for example) on foreign users "because the data is held with american companies/DCs") and many other such examples
