Intel's GPUs are currently not very competitive due to the highly unreliable performance with the majority of the gaming library, which is mostly not DX12 based. The reviews of the ARC cards are so bad for Intel I wouldn't be surprised if the stock will soon be on sale at prices below the manufacturing cost.
Are you sure you mean currying? Currying is where you transform a function taking multiple arguments into a function that only takes one of the arguments and returns another function which takes one of the remaining arguments which (...recursively).

Maybe you meant partial function application? Even that doesn't seem relevant, given that the function is actually being called immediately in the first example.

I think what GP is referring to is Joe Rogan smoking weed with some guests before, during and after the show, rather than some vitamin and pro-metabolism shot.
"He prefers iconoclastic approaches, whether by directly funding asteroid detection or advocating for nuclear power to combat global warming."

Ooh, scary dude. /s

Kids nowadays. I remember when nuclear power was a futuristic clean energy sort of ideal and when the way we figured out who was right and who was wrong on a complex topic was to let both sides openly debate and then pick who is more credible by how each is able to rally the facts in defense of their position.

Beware your society, which is doing the same thing to people like Kirsch that it did to Socrates two thousand years ago. The masses never change, apparently. All that changes is whether they're held in check or whether they're exploited by demagogues.
Nvidia has shot itself in the foot on this round.

You sure about that? It still feels like we're being bent over and Nvidia is just laughing.
I hated that feeling too. In college in particular I had a handful of really bad nights, including a night where I blacked out my arrival back to the dorm, including apparently me showing my id to the security guy in the lobby, a morning in which I woke up to find puke all over my computer and a plate of food I had apparently prepared next to it, and a time I was at a frat party so drunk that they eventually threw me out, my friends having to carry me over their shoulders.

Got easier and easier as I got older and stopped hanging out with people who drank heavily.

I eventually made it a rule to only drink when I'm in a social engagement (and don't make a habit of going to events where alcohol is served more often than not), and limit myself to two drinks max, and that seemed to do the trick for me. I've gone as much as six months without having or even thinking about having a single drink.

I don't even desire it anymore. I enjoy when I have it, but I can't even remember the last time I went "man, I could really use a drink". For me a drink pretty much always just means diet soda or coffee now.

I actually have beer in my fridge and wine from before the pandemic that I still haven't drunk, and some leftover alcohol I brought to an event three months ago I haven't even touched since, so I'm pretty sure I don't have a problem anymore.
No those are conspiracy theories.

It seems plausible that there's evidence of life on Mars. The meteor alh84001 is a hint just not enough. It's also plausible that a committee inside the federal government is trickling out the info to avoid moral panics and qanon like religions arising out of control.
Assume for a moment Germany would have build a whole new fleet of nuclear reactors in the 90s. Completely politically impossible then, but let’s assume.

It wouldn’t change much about the current gas crisis. Miniscule changes, maximum. Because the gas crisis is not an electricity crisis [1].

91% of the gas used in Germany is not used for electricity generation.

It’s used for heating, for cooking, both at homes and for industrial applications, from industrial ovens and in the chemical industry think fertilizer, etc.

And even if we had the electricity “too cheap to meter” since the 90s, my assumption is that it wouldn’t have made a dent in the existing infrastructure of gas usage. There is an enormous 50+ years path dependency there, in a way housing infrastructure is technical debt on a gigantic scale.

Replacing all the existing infrastructure even with massive governmental support and the necessary subventions is a generational project, minimum 20 years in my estimation. First producing the necessary heat pumps and other electrical heaters, building out the net, isolating 100+ year old building, etc. Those are processes which need supply of electrical heater, a huge mass of people capable to install them and first and and foremost money to finance those massive expenditures. 20 years is my optimistic take.

And for our thought experiment, would people have done it, when not in a crisis mode? To never change a running system or only change it when being forced is simply human.

I’m neither arguing pro or contra nuclear electricity. I’m just annoyed because nuclear proponents never seem to think about what’s happens outside of their reactor, the distribution and the actual use. On paper “energy” is fungible. In reality it really is not. Or rather: only with the efforts a country-wide 100x Manhattan project.

When being repeatedly told that nuclear electricity would have helped, “How, exactly?” is not only a perfectly reasonable question but also the far more interesting aspect of the problem.

[1] Given how interconnected the European electricity net is, is there an electricity crisis possible? Cross-border trade not just exists but is for years an essential feature of the European net.
Totally agree. I’m thinking in terms and concepts like “iptables”, “ipset”, “fail2ban”, “cidr”, “asn”… while everyone else is thinking about how to change their cloudflare settings.

Very engaging after the first act. Imaginary Conversations is already an established sub genre of history books and I can't wait to see where this style of hybrid curation / creation goes, surely into the present like this. Maybe a.i. voice debates will be so offensive to the popular pundits being cloned it will encourage more real live debates again, giving people exactly what they want just to compete with underground a.i.

I expect soon there will be Unauthorized Biographies written in the first person with the audiobook read by the subject's a.i. voice. What a trip.

Have you considered seeing a therapist? Rumination is often very treatable.
I can see why that would be useful in some circumstances, but not the more common ones they describe. Why is it necessary that a ceramic heatsink for a phone be re-formed, rather than just cast in the correct shape to begin with?
This will be a MAJOR problem when trying to incorporate the DHCP Vendor OPTION message fields … programmatically.

It is easily done in ISC DHCP but not available in systemd, udhcpcd, nor dnsmasq.

Looking at you ISPs who use Juniper Network concentrators and routers.

Also I use ISC DHCP to help compensate for Nintendo DS handhelds who have brokenly incorporated a space into its DHCP hostname.[2]

Yep, it’s very possible that wildly different chemistry or even some other method wins. However, using the same battery chemistry in a cheaper form factor is the worst case. Aka if 2.3 Trillion on EV batteries works then the winner must cost less than 2.3 trillion.

Not trying to pile on you individually but this is an interesting line of thought in general, so continuing the thread here...

Let's say there are 10 nearby cities with drug addicts. Let's say 3 of them start running needle exchanges or other "drug friendly" policies.

By this logic, if those policies don't increase drug use, but do attract users, then maybe we just made 7 cities drug-free, and 3 cities into concentrated zones where social programs as well as law enforcement can be more targeted and more effective? If so, then very likely this will be a net-positive for the 10 cities as a whole, with neutral to slightly-worse outcomes for the target neighborhoods in the 3 cities running the programs.

Many programs/policies are not operated from a macro-enough perspective, or not optimizing for macro-level outcomes, or humans just aren't capable of macro-enough greater-good decision-making. If the 10-20 homeowners living directly next to the proposed needle exchange site can veto it, that might be better for them individually, but worse as a whole for the city/state/nation/world. See exhibit: NYC and proposals for new shelter sites.

On the other hand, seems like these sorts of debates always just end up becoming examples to prove out Churchill's "democracy is the worst form of government – except for all the others that have been tried" claim.
It's state of the art. It sounds amazing compared to anything that's existed before. What alternative are you comparing this to to say that it's awful?
On the other hand a.out is about as basic as you can get, whereas elf isn't.

So if you want to minimise bugs and attack surface surely a.out is the format to stick with.
> My daughter started a practice of not buying alcohol for her home.

This has been working for me, too. For a few years in my late 20s I was doing 1-2 drinks per day on average, with a fair number of completely sober days in there as well. Never "problem" territory, but as I got into my 30s, I realized I felt way, way better on the days where I didn't have anything at all to drink the night before. So if I was ever waffling on whether to have a drink, I'd choose not to. Earlier this year I ran out of beers in the fridge and I've just not restocked it. We have some wine and stuff, which I drink with my wife when we have a nice dinner cooked, but it's probably one night a week now or even less. That feels OK to me.
You can hear the "space" when Steve Jobs is talking that a lot of the training material are from keynotes on a stage in a big space. That's why it sounds a bit "thin" compared to Joe Rogans voice which is probably mostly based on recordings in a studio with Joe being close to a microphone (and a proper microphone for recording)

This feels redundant given that the current interpretation of EU privacy laws is that US companies can not be used under GDPR compliance because the EU-US Privacy Shield agreement has been killed by US courts ruling that federal agencies are allowed to access data stored on overseas servers. This also extends to EU subsidiaries of US companies but it seems that PostHog doesn't even try to make that distinction.

If your first thought is that this would render EU companies unable to use common cloud providers like AWS, Google Cloud or Azure, you're not wrong, although most EU companies are likely unaware of this as it's the outcome of a recent court case and not entirely settled.

As a EU resident I would advise EU companies to avoid all US service providers and their subsidiaries where possible, regardless of where their servers are located until the US legislature makes explicit guarantees protecting EU servers from being accessed by US law enforcement without going through the apropriate international channels (which would include notifying all affected EU residents of the access).

I realize this can't always be avoided but replacing Google Analytics with another US company over GDPR concerns seems a lot of effort for no effect when there are self-hosted and EU-based alternatives available.
Quest hardware is fantastic, but content is king.

The top selling titles on Quest have been at the top for years. The Apple App Store model alone will not catapult the platform.

Meta should deprioritize Horizon (a Mii lookalike ain’t it) and spend the next 10 years developing 1st party titles. Set the benchmark. Learn best practices. Let the technology evolve.

We’re not ready for Ready Player One.
The header traditionally contains:

1. a pointer to the class

2. the object's lock

3. some GC bits

4. the identity hash code

In a naive implementation, the class pointer is a machine word, the lock is multiple machine words, the GC bits are a few bits, which get rounded up to a word for alignment, and the hash is 32 bits.

Object headers used to be even bigger than 128 bits!

There have been improvements: compress the class pointer, use a lazily-inflated lock which takes up only one word in the header, make the identity hash smaller, and make the lock and the identity hash share space (when the lock is deflated, the identity hash lives in the shared slot; when the lock is inflated, the slot has a pointer to a lock structure which also contains the identity hash).

The change in this JEP is effectively to extend the inflation-dependent space sharing scheme to include the class pointer too. When the lock is deflated, the header contains the class pointer and the identity hash; when it is inflated, it is a pointer to the lock structure, which contains the class pointer and identity hash.

I suppose this means that virtual method calls through a locked object will involve an additional indirection - but this should be rather easy for a compiler to optimise, because it can safely hoist the loading of the class pointer.
I lost my old account and maybe you need karma, but the option to vouch for an article seems gone too. Wouldn't solve the issue, but I think it would be interesting to make transparent who did the flagging.
That would be huge. We can already 3d print concrete though, is it that different?

That's because Facebook doesn't just employ privileged engineers making big money, but an army of staff that won't do just fine if their employer fucks them over. Neither you, nor me, and certainly no public service officer can draw the line. That's why the government should force businesses to treat all employees with a modicum of respect, and prevent corporations from doing stuff like Facebook did here.

Humans are expensive though. If you have a lot of speech to record, it might be cheaper to use the human to train the AI and then let the AI finish the rest.
Matt Levine in his excellent Money Stuff newsletter had a neat summary of what happened there [0].

Basically:

1. A pension fund has to pay a $100 pension in 30 years (=liability) [1]. So, it buys a 30 year bond today (=asset) that pays $100 in 30 years. The asset and the liability are matched, and it is flat rates: long one bond (which it bought), and "short one bond", namely the pension it has to pay. +1 -1 = 0

2. However, rates have been quite low over the last two decades, making bonds expensive. So, the pension fond decides to try something new: mix bonds with stocks. They have higher expected returns, so it can get away with buying a bit less upfront, say half a bond and some shares. There will be a shortfall, but if the shares outperform the bond, as expected, it will sort itself out in 30 years.

3. Now the pension fund is long half a bond (which it bought), and "short one bond", namely the pension it has to pay, so in total not flat, but short half a bond: +0.5 -1 = -0.5. This means that the fund is unhappy when bonds rise in price, ie yields fall.

4. But even though rates were low two decades ago, they have fallen even lower after the GFC etc. [2] So, funds were unhappy, as they appeared to get worse shortfalls. So, they got the great idea of hedging, ie synthetically going long bonds: happy when bond prices go up, yields fall.

5. But recently, yields have shot up, bond prices fell. That's good, per se, for the pension funds - they're naturally short bonds, after all. Except that now they've hedged - and their hedges went massively against them.

6. Bonds are so cheap now, with high rates, the pension funds should be buying them. But instead they might be forced to sell to cover their margin calls, driving bond prices down even further, and ... we're in the spiral you mentioned.

[1] They actually have to pay a pension more or less every year over the next N years, but one can simplify this particular story by just picking one year.

The homeless don't have money but they have value in a system that allows using homeless as cheap/free labour, and when you receive state funding proportional to the number of people you're hosting. Incarcerating millionaires on the other hand is hard (they are less likely to commit obvious crimes), time consuming (long time in court), costly (they can pay armies of lawyers), and more likely to fail if they have the right connections. The homeless don't have family, friends or business partners to help bail them out.
But exercise increases your muscle mass, which raises your basal metabolism, doesn't it? How big is that effect? Seems like it should be quite big, but I have no data and seldom see it discussed, as if it didn't matter at all.

But then why do we lose muscle mass if we don't exercise? Seems like it would be a huge maladaptation if muscles were "cheap".
> Therapists are overrated, no scientific backing in learning how to deal with high stress situations.

Huh. I've had a lot of success with therapy in this regard. Wouldn't recommend something I haven't tried.
Probably the only safe thing to say with these facts in mind is that we haven't found a solution to this problem that both reduces the crime output of those likely to commit it, and also treads carefully across our collective sensitivities surrounding the topic.

Maybe that's an impossible task given those requirements. If it were easy, we'd probably have found the solution by now. We're pretty sensitive about numbers like that after all, to the point that I'm generally reluctant to quote them.
Only if we change to fusion power, which is just fifty years away.
The best SNR.
A slight tangent, but there's something extremely interesting on the topic of Ancient philosophers related to this Jobs' quote. Socrates wrote nothing down, to the point that some have claimed he was illiterate. And that is a possibility, though improbable.

But the reason he claimed to not want to write anything down is because, in a nutshell, 'books cannot defend themselves' : words can be taken out of context, meanings misconstrued, and text made to mean what the interpreter wants to make it mean instead of what the author meant for it to mean.

It's quite fortunate for the world that many of his students disagreed, but it's interesting nonetheless.
Political suicide.
Hah!

That's even better (and you can have snapshots and all benefits of VM), but in case you don't know - for InstallShield stubs there are replacements which allows the installer to run on WOW64 systems.
More generally allow the closure to write to its environment. That is the normal behaviour of closures in imperative langages, Java being the major exception because it rejects closing over non-final variable (and obviously that only blocks assignment, if the object is mutable you can do what you want to it).
PC shipments fall at fastest rate ever
The problem here is that the "contract" aka. offer has no penalties for termination. Generally people agree to these terms because they are favorable in other ways such as extra compensation, or simply because they don't perceive the terms as negotiable (probably true).

If companies get a reputation for screwing people, then this will change. I once worked at a firm that would obsess over the fine-print of a contract to make sure that we weren't in breach as they messed with their partner. Needless to say, I didn't work at this firm long - and the firm didn't last long. Contracts are only as good as the trust you have in the other party.
Agreed. People give a lot of hate to FORMAT and LOOP, but I think with both of them for the domains they're working in, it's kind of a natural progression of the evolution of a DSL (which as you said is very lispy since reader macros are one of the biggest strengths of CL) that you'll end up with something like FORMAT or LOOP that handles a lot of common use cases for string formatting or iteration as tersely as possible. It's inherently less flexible than pure s-exps (nothing is as flexible), but IME solves most problems where you need string formatting or iteration. Plus it's part of the ANSI CL spec, and sticking as close to the spec as possible and being conservative with external dependencies is usually a good thing in CL.
This is a misleading title since it's a fake.
Oh I don't really care about it other than from a nostalgia point of view. I started using Linux at 0.99 or so. I don't think I've used anything but ELF since it was introduced.

And recent developments have shown that ELF is not a barrier to getting old binaries working (the recent port of Word Perfect for Unix).
If you prohibit it then it will only be done secretly by governments and then used against naive populations. At least this way the population can learn how to identify and defend against it.

If we had transparent governance then maybe this wouldn't be a problem.
