If that NUC CPU is using 30w, then what else is using the other 40w? Where is that heat dissipating to when the ONLY heatsink is on the CPU itself?

What is missing in that story? Is it more likely that a mystery chip is dissipating 40w into that tiny chassis or that something isn't reported correctly?

Perhaps the answer is something to do with the chipset using a massive 40w of power. That isn't likely as even the actively-cooled desktop chipsets don't use that much power. Even if that's true, not only does the dissipation issue still go unanswered, but the SoC it is being compared to also moves everything on-chip, so adding in that power consumption is necessary for an equal comparison.

There's no suitable answer to this problem other than the reported numbers being wrong.

> I'm not sure what performance per clock advantage going from desktop to mobile you're referring to?

M2 peak performance at 3.5GHz is equal or better than desktop Zen 3 chips running at 5+GHz.

The second link you post shows the 5950X (with the best binned chiplets with the lowest power/core numbers) requiring 7.5w per core at 3.7GHz. That means you could barely get HALF your cores running at 3.7GHz at 30w. All of them at that speed (1GHz less than turbo) would take around 60w of power (by the way, 6850H has a 45w TDP and claims base clocks of 3.7GHz, so something doesn't quite match up there either).

Even hitting 8 cores at 2.7GHz seems to be a stretch within that 28w TDP limit. EPYC with it's top-binned chiplets requires around 4-4.5w per core to hit 2.45GHz base clocks.

Adding between 700MHz and 1GHz to the clockspeed plus a well-known 60% faster per clock design plus cutting cache in half for Zen 3 mobile (which increases total power usage too) makes the benchmark results super fishy as they would require massive increases in IPC (or massive crippling of the M2 chip). This is of course not true, which indicates something is wrong somewhere.
It was, but I'm not sure if it originated in DVCS: doesn't Perforce work the same way?

This is a good point. Modularity is the key to managing complexity. Unfortunately, I think writing a good architecture is harder than writing good code at the local level (because most developers have less experience at writing code in the large). And projects with a good initial architecture tend to diverge as developers add new features and introduce new dependencies. They often don't understand the original design and want/need to get things done quickly.

I didn't know this was an official thing. Seems like it would work great in a lot of cases.

And yet, Apple only started informing users of Apple "personalised ads" only after a French regulator started investigating Apple. More info here - French antitrust complaint alleges Apple allows itself to run personalized ads on iOS without getting user consent - https://9to5mac.com/2021/03/09/french-antitrust-complaint-al... and iOS 15 now prompts users if they want to enable Apple personalized ads, after it was previously on by default - https://9to5mac.com/2021/09/02/apple-personalized-ads-target... ).

To be fair, I had a very similar experience on my very first minutes with an iPhone on one of the .0 iOS releases. So many glitches and broken things, even on the onboarding process, many of them reliably reproducible. That said, when I grabbed that iPhone the next time and updated it a few minor releases further, most of them were fixed.

In other words it isn’t tied to your Apple ID, or the information linked to it, or the PII you enter for non-Advertising purposes. If you go into the News or Stocks settings, you can also reset that identifier at-will, and as you pointed out, you can also just turn it off. Completely opt-out. Facebook’s entire business model is predicated on not letting you opt-out of tracking and being able to link it to a social profile they host, whereas Apple can take it or leave it.

It is bad design, but more importantly, server push is a (subpar) solution to a problem we shouldn't have in the first place.

How exactly modern web ended up in a situation where, first time browser is displaying a single page (with maybe 3 pictures and 2 paragraphs of text), it has to download 300 resources from 12 different servers, including 2 megabytes of minified javascript?
I agree 100%. I'm pretty surprised at the complete lack of discussion of the Exegesis.
I think it's okay for wild guesses to be zero expectation; if you look at it from an information-theory perspective, leaving the question blank and wildly guessing both communicate the same thing, "I don't know." What's the benefit of incentivizing test takers to leave questions blank instead of wildly guessing? I get that it feels better to discourage guessing, but how does it improve the accuracy of the test as a measure of understanding?

And if you can rule out at least one answer, that communicates that you know something about the material under test - provided, of course, the test has no joke or otherwise implausible answers, which appears to be true of the Regents test that I posted above. Take question 6, for example, which asks whether the days of the month are best described as "(1) integers (2) whole numbers (3) rational numbers (4) irrational numbers". Suppose you forgot the distinction between integers and whole numbers, but you knew that the other two answers were incorrect, and so you randomly picked one of the first two options. Doesn't that convey understanding of part of the material under test, such that a score of a positive fractional point in expectation is reasonable?

(A more logistically complicated system would be to permit students to mark any answers they think might be correct and therefore remove the "in expectation" part. If you don't select the correct answer, you get no points, but if you select n answers including the correct answer, you get 1/n points, and leaving a question blank is considered equal to selecting all the answers. But the cognitive overhead of this system probably makes it not worthwhile.)
"principal" and "staff" are even more vague than "senior" and exist only in few companies. More importantly, they almost never refer to total experience and instead refer to being promoted within a given company.
Fun fact: The Intel 8008 was intended to be a single-chip CPU for the Datapoint 2200 terminal. It was delayed so ultimately wasn't used in the Datapoint 2200, but Intel had an agreement in place to sell the chip to other buyers.

So that means every x86-64 PC sold has an ISA with a compatibility lineage that goes straight back to Datapoint.

This comment made me remember all of the anti-gay-marriage politicians saying that if we legalized gay marriage, men would just start leaving their wives and marrying men. As if the only thing keeping me from being fat or gay is some brave gatekeeper, rather than a lack of a desire (or makeup) to be fat or gay.

They also gave us insight into the mind of the gay anti-gay politician.
I worry that, if Copilot-like things are ultimately declared to actually be legal, that many free software developers will withdraw their source code from public view, to avoid the code being used as mere fodder for proprietary developers to annex the code without being a part of the free software community.

Huh? Which lenders are those? Real estate owners are almost always free to refinance loans at any time, regardless of the current lender's financial condition. Those things are entirely unrelated. But other lenders aren't going to issue new loans at below market rates just for the sake of reducing pressure on one of their competitors. That would be crazy. If some lenders go bankrupt that's fine.

It's a little unlikely. It's a code-able exploit with a big payoff, which is right in the wheelhouse, but then there's this that Steven Galbraith had to say about how the exploit works:

*What is this magic ingredient?*
It is a theorem by Ernst Kani about reducible subgroups of abelian surfaces.

*Is there a simple way to explain the magic ingredient?*
Nope. Go learn about Richelot isogenies and abelian surfaces.

As I understand it, even by number-theoretic cryptographic standards, the math here is abstruse. The challenges I think have done pretty well sticking to things where writing the exploit pays off with good intuitions. I guess "don't reveal auxiliary torsion points when exchanging details of an isogeny graph walk" is a useful intuition, maybe.
The constraint is profit. Sure, with unlimited money you can just keep getting more and more servers. But that costs money. It would end up swamping any profit to be made.

By creating this optimized system, it makes serving that much video profitable.
>this really strikes me as evidence that something is wrong with the http standardization process.

The overall decision-making around how the web works is insane and getting more insane by the year. We have fairly trivial and absolutely universal problems unsolved for decades, while browsers get crammed full of features that aren't used by 99.9% of websites.

Worse, some problems are finally solved in such a half-assed way that it's almost worse than having no solution at all. (Input type="date", meter element, dialog element etc.)

I can understand the gut reaction of "how dare they?!" but upon deeper consideration... it's not really a big deal. These networks don't regurgitate content, they synthesize new content. Even if someone generates art in the style of another artist, it won't spit out that artist's work, only imitate their style -- so as long as the person doesn't claim it's the other artist's work, it's not different from one artist taking inspiration from another's work.

As far as the legal argument of "I didn't give permission to train the network on my work" goes... I think that's shaky at best. These AIs are trained on publicly available data. Training an AI is basically just showing it stuff to learn from, and as such it's a bit like suing because "I didn't give this art teacher permission to show his class my publicly-available painting during a lesson!" Which I don't think you could argue legally (though I'm not a lawyer, so maybe you can).
This is a good guide for Bash, but I wouldn't use the code as-is in production. For example, the following code is recommended for cleaning up a log file and leaving only the last 50 lines:

That code has a clear race condition and will lose lines on a busy server.

Exactly, there's application videogames and interactive fiction[1]. I'm rather experienced in procgen for roguelike development so those techniques and their value and pitfalls have left an impression on me, but also illuminated how narrow the application of current techniques is.

Though there's some work that's been done in the area in terms of storylets[2], and story graphs[3], from a practitioner's point of view, there's a lot left to be desired. In particular accessible and demonstrable implementations, declarative syntax/language/config, ontologies of narration, and libraries of story elements.

In a lot of ways, it feels like the space is fresh enough that even basic questions like data-driven bottom-up approaches vs symbolic top-down approaches haven't even been thoroughly explored. Currently, the research space is small on the academic side, and small on the industry side, but for different reasons. I guess I feel like there's a lot of untapped potential, but the systems which would drive such innovation aren't yet poised to recognize the opportunity or incentivized to pursue it.

For those not in the know- James Comey told Congress about Hillary Clinton's emails mere days before the election. I think that it would have looked political if they withheld until after the election too. The less political move is to treat the emails no different than anything else.
I actually would have no problem with that. The move on itself, clearly spoken out, ( or not ) would have been a great victory against Facebook.

I have a problem with Apple's hypocrisy of doing that but labelling it as a move of privacy. And this hypocrisy is only the tip of the Iceberg.

But the saddest thing is that most people dont see it. iPhone 14 will likely continues to sell like hotcakes.

> States enforce federal statutes all the time.

Only when the state statute coincidentally matches the federal statute, for crimes like bank robbery that are defined at the state and federal level.

If the state doesn't have a law against the crime (i.e. South Carolina has no laws regarding hate crimes [1], but the federal government does [2]), then federal prosecutors are responsible for prosecuting those. One can't escape prosecution for a federal crime because there is no state law against it. Prosecuting federal crimes at a local level is exactly why the regional US attorneys offices exist.

In the case in from the article, the crimes committed by the state Senator (wire fraud, money laundering, etc) are federal by definition, so a local DA isn't going to prosecute them anyways.

I haven’t ignored any of that; I simply don’t believe that it is ethical to use the state’s monopoly on violence to punish individual actors (including said industry) without due process.

Hardly. Tell that to the 1/3rd Americans who are overweight. If you know the secret to easy weight loss, please don't hold out.

It mostly comes down the the food we eat. Added sugars have made their way into nearly everything you can buy at a grocery store. Buying food that doesn't include added sugars is tricky because nearly everything has added sugar. The evidence that added sugars (especially high fructose corn syrup) are mostly to blame for the obesity epidemic, is becoming overwhelming. Significantly changing what you eat is not easy for everyone.

The biggest change needs to come as regulation to the food industry to discourage adding excessive amounts of sugars to foods. Also, stop subsidizing corn and the production of high fructose corn syrup. Obesity is a systemic problem that needs a systemic solution.

They mention this in the doc, but it seems like the future solution to preloading resources will involve HTTP Status 403 [1]. That seems like a great alternative to server push.

Currently it seems like the best option is to use Transfer-Encoding: chunked and make sure you flush out an HTML header that includes the preload directives before you spend any time rendering the web page. This is a pain - especially if something in the rendering fails and you now have to figure out how to deliver...something to the client. It also limits other headers significantly - e.g. cookies.

I have a arturia keystep and keystep pro, and love them. They are great for composing, the built in sequencer is easy to use and they have midi and cv outs which work nicely for a dawless setup. I am seeing more and more of my favorite artists using them, so i guess i'm not the only one who loves them. The keystep fits into my small backpack and I live in a mountain area so in 15 minutes i'm in the forest, I connect it to my phone and come up with melodic lines. Although i'm not much of a musician it's great for relaxing after a busy day

Those stats were from early 2021, and they show the efficacy wasn't similar for Pfizer and Moderna. There's no current recommended 'best' as I stated, because there's no basis for saying which is best at this point, because the products fundamentally don't work. Also, that efficacy was about infection, rather than hospitalization/death, which we now know, the shots have essentially zero efficacy against infection.

We know they don't work because even Fauci himself, 4 doses in still got sick, and then had a rebound after paxlovid (which should have been entirely unnecessary if the vaccines worked at all).
