The massive war with China has left obvious key issues in chip fabrication. The reason or whatever for the ongoing war with china doesn't matter.

Similar factories are being built in Germany by Infineon: https://www.infineon.com/cms/en/about-infineon/press/press-r...

Samsung in Texas: https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/samsung-plans-17-...

Intel in Arizona: https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/23/intel-is-spending-20-billion...

India is doing something with Risc-V: https://pib.gov.in/PressReleaseIframePage.aspx?PRID=1820621

Overall, divestment from china seems to be the goal. But this many new factories being produced is going to overproduce chips and eliminate any profitability; but inexpensive chips like this will most likely create a boon to the economies.
Likewise, treating everyone you disagree with as completely insane; devoid of any reasonable motivations is a lazy hand-wavy viewpoint. It’ll also make you prone to suck up any and all propaganda that aligns with your biases.
Plus go code seems to embrace as short of a name for variables as possible.

Have a parameter for an array of users? Call it ‘u’. Want to have a variable for a config object? Obviously call it ‘c’.

‘Idiomatic’ go code is bad code.

Learned weights should be considered a derived work of all the things the model was trained on.

I think 'training an AI' is actually a distinctly new use of IP, and should probably be considered under a specific kind of 'AI-use' license. Open Source licenses should be updated to indicate whether they allow or do not allow AIs to be trained on covered work as well as the other rights they allow.

In the case of a card not present transaction, the merchant always asks for your address when using credit cards. Also the original submission is about “cashless societies” and the disadvantage of it. No one is complaining about merchants refusing to take cash for web transactions.
Isn't the basic math largely driven by attempts to understand and quantify the world around us? In such case, it depends on more universal concepts like distance, time, speed, acceleration etc. Concepts which I would imagine to be familiar to any intelligent being that takes a physical form. I can't imagine an alien wondering about a period of a pendulum and arriving at an answer that's really different from ours.
Compared with Win16 Petzold style, that looks great, and it also reveals lack of knowledge from OWL features that don't require direct Win16 calls like raw strings instead of TString.

By the way, you should have a dive into how the "modern" development experience with Rust/WinRT compares with C++ Builder in 2022.

If even Microsoft is trimming employees, whether it's less than X % or not is somewhat immaterial. The chilling fear of job loss articles like it produces is still a feeling I experience.

At least for me, I have multiple former coworkers saying 'apply over here' and I'm nervous to jump ship. Last in First Out says it's risky to move jobs if there's gonna be a big downturn.

But I've always wondered if they need the tech or the land more. If it is the tech only, why not resort to industrial espionage or just kidnapping the key engineers from TSMC? Where does the core value of TSMC line on? It is the know-how, some specific machinery that is hard to replicate even if you have the blueprints or something else?
Well if you've been warning someone for 14 years and literally nothing has happened, why is it unreasonable to be surprised?
Yeah it's more like a network of duct tape webbed together within in a clear plastic box with a "kubectl" button on it along with a paper feeder that takes a stack of generated config files as input for each button press.

And this controls how the duct tape sticks everything together, so it's not like any two boxes are the same.
Do they use average for these numbers? I suspect they do. I wish they would give median, mode, and standard deviation also.

Which is of course complete nonsense and UK has had a competition regulator that was effective and able to operate independently of EU even before Brexit. Every EU country can set the rules what companies can operate in every member state and how, and obviously UK was always able to do this.

(For a simple example - look at France constantly fining and regulating US tech giants without having to ask Brussels for permission)
The UK doesn't need to block Facebook, they can just ban advertisers from buying any ad space on there. FB could still provide a service in the UK but it wouldn't make them any money.

Of course it is in the US strategic interests, the problem is having strategic interests doesn't automatically give the US rights to intervene. Contrary to Ukraine (plain violation of the territorial integrity of a sovereign nation) the situation in Taiwan is complicated (for those who doubt it please at least make the effort to read the Wikipedia entry). Now given recent history I don't doubt the US will not let it slip when their strategic interests are at risk, but at least be lucid. Edit: To clear doubts I should add I would obviously prefer Taiwan stay an independent free democratic country. I'm only tempering the argument I sometimes see (maybe wrongly here) "it's in our best interests" = "it's the right thing".
> I think alien analogs to mathematics are unlikely to match ours.

So aliens won't be able to count? They won't have a concept of zero? They won't have a concept of 1=successor(0)? I find this very, very hard to believe, and a lot of mathematics follows from the structure of the natural numbers.

If you accept evolution by natural selection is a universal law, then I think it naturally follows that ability to count must evolve. After all, it's pretty important to know whether there are 0, 1, or many predators/food/prey/enemies.
I don't see how these are mutually exclusive.
> that it would be true for aliens that one can get better at something by practicing

I think that one depends a lot on how they learn or can transfer knowledge. We rely on language for it, and language is severely limited - We can't learn olympic gymnastics from watching TV, but a species that could directly transfer memories and behaviors would have a huge leg on us in that regard - I'd assume we'd quickly notice their fast-paced technological advance.

Or completely miss it, because they'd anyhilate themselves a couple hours after discovering the military use of nuclear fusion ;-)
Yes! Thank you! That’s the one!
Markov or Markoff Processes?
I'm reading "A Mathematical Theory of Communication" by C.E. Shannon and I a section title that has "Markoff processes". As I wasn't familiar with the name, I did some searching and found out that they're the same as "Markov processes".

Moreover, the Wikipedia page has 8 mentions of "Markoff" and 41 mentions of "Markov".

As the Andrey Marko(-v)/(-ff) is Russian, does the name mix-up have something to do with some switch between <v> and <ff> in Russian?
If I am not mistaken, this is similar to what Feyerabend seemed to be on about.

If Occam's razor is presented as a truth (which is pretty subjective, as it depends on what we/someone considers "simple"). Then finding one case where what most people thought was the simple reason, was not actually the reason after evidence came to light, then Occam's razor can be rejected as a theory right?

I think this has long happened, and do not understand why this is still presented as "truth".

I prefer the standard of truth used by natural-sciences. The rest I find pretty bendable (virology included).
I built Packj https://github.com/ossillate-inc/packj to scan NPM/PyPI/Ruby packages for CVEs and malicious/risky attributes.
It's Graham's confidence that I (and I think OP) find puzzling. He doesn't say "According to Platonist ideas...", or "In my opinion...". Just "mathematical truths are true by definition". There's a brashness and lack of nuance there that makes me want to stop reading.
Ah, okay. It doesn't appear overly golfed to me. It felt like the point of publishing it was probably similar to what you're saying. That the TOTP algorithm isn't terribly complicated.
>How could that claim be true? We have highly intelligent beings (i.e., “aliens”) right here on Earth that have not developed these things.

Are you using the 'illegal immigration' definition of alien?

>These discussions on aliens are often off the rails from the start because they implicitly begin with the assumption that humans are the only intelligent beings on Earth.

Do please elaborate because I don't share this opinion. Do you believe aliens live amongst us?
Russia invaded Georgia in 2008, then Ukraine in 2014. Pretty sure that's "literally" something happening.
> I see that Andrey Markov was Russian. Does his name variation have to do with some mix-up between <v> and <ff> in Russian?

Definitely is. Chebyshev vs Chebysheff is another example. In Russian these surnames have -v ending but there is some tradition in English culture that some -v endings may be converted in -ff.

After the policy change when Germany finally got their hands on BNT(after the US bought up all the stock), doctors actively dissuaded people with heart or other conditions from getting AZ shots.

EDIT: yes, there was talk about banning it after months of denial. And its my mistake for conflating other EU countries that care about their citizens with Germany, which clearly doesn't.
I'm able to read it just fine in Brave Browser
No, it is not normal. CCC is being proactive in that they believe that there is a chance of having the same problems as in the last congress, and they want to avoid this, because volunteers are more hesitant to get involved in a risky situation compared to employees.
I guess that assumes that the moon's starting point was the surface of the Earth and then started floating upward very slowly to where it is now.
And even more know that you don't need to be a monopoly to violate anti-trust laws.
China already has easy access outside of the territorial waters of its neighbours. Taiwan's territorial waters don't really prevent it from operating. Less so than Japan, Vietnam and Philipines.

>The USG might be trying to slow them down but they're not concerned about China militarily.

The one thing that matters in the long run is money and even though the US is fighting tooth and nail to halt China it isn't very likely to happen - who knows, we'll see. Whenever this discussion pops up it reeks of racism. People from China aren't less intelligent than people in Germany or in the US so with time and more money they will with 100% certainty overcome any technological gap. Sure they are behind in some areas but pretending they can't make a pen is disingenuous. They have had the capability to launch satellites since the 1970's and are now building a space-station. It is no different than saying the US can't make rockets because they had a lot of outside (Nazi) help after WW2. China has in a very short time-span gone from mostly agriculture to being in the top three in many (most?) high tech areas.

But in short can you explain why the US is using insane amounts of energy to slow down China if they are so totally incapable? Why do we need a completely new doctrine and pivot of the navy to be sailing around an utterly incapable and un-concerning China?
Evading government controls sounds like a valuable attribute.
> Russia has nukes that work

Does it?

Nominally, Russia has roughly the same number of nukes as the US.

The US military budget is 700bn/yr and it spends 60bn/yr in maintaining its nuclear weapons. So 60bn/yr is a good estimate for what it costs to maintain a US/Russia-sized nuclear weapons arsenal.

Russia spends 60bn/yr on its military in _total_. However much of that goes into maintaining its nuclear arsenal is clearly not nearly enough. By all accounts Russia can't even maintain its trucks. Most likely the budget for nuclear maintenance is "disappearing" the same way that much state money disappears in Russia. Surely no on believes that Russia has been spending 60bn/yr since the 70s, when the last nuke was detonated.

Russia no longer has nuclear weapons, you heard it here first.
Your argument doesn’t hold together.

Many traditional hardware companies are transitioning/have transitioned to some form of hybrid model or subscription service explicitly.

We are actually looking at degrowth, not eternal growth.

Processors may be near peaking but the Raspberry Pi is not a competitor with those processors.

The reason stock is down is because of supply chain issues still overhanging from the pandemic.

If you think about it for more than 2 moments you will see that owning Giphy allows Facebook to see which chat apps you're using (via the api key for the app's Giphy integration) and who you're talking to on them (by attaching an id to each gif similar to how tracking pixels work in email.) Most chat clients automatically load images, triggering the tracker.

This gives Facebook unprecedented visibility into the user counts, usage patterns, and social graph of any chat app with a Giphy integration. These apps compete with Facebook's own chat apps.

> they can just ban advertisers from buying any ad space on there

So for example, Apple US couldn't buy ads on Facebook, because it shows ads to UK users? How do you envisage this working?

> If she’s been there 20 years I imagine her paycheque is enormous

On the contrary, she must be extremely cheap. I don't know the details of compensation at Microsoft, but if it's like the other FAANGs (or really any other company), new hires are paid A LOT more than tenured employees.
Getting infant mortality down would have a big impact on the life expectancy in the US but has nothing to do with longevity.
Money is a relationship. Private ownership of a relationship is slavery. The central bank must devalue the slave contract by 2% otherwise an accumulation of slave contracts will enslave the entire society. Our money is a time banking network and time on earth doesn't last forever, people age. The "owners of money" don't care, in fact, to them aging is the greatest sin that must be punished as it devalues their "private property". They expect the young and future born to give up their time to compensate through the time lost through aging.

You get to pick negative rates or inflation. There is no other option.

There is a surprising meta story buried in this data. While covid killed many, and (unintentional) overdoses were in second place, heart disease was in third place. On first glance this might not seem extraordinary, but it is. Heart disease isn't something that presents over a matter of months or even years. It takes decades of obesity/smoking/high blood pressure/diabetes for atherosclerosis to form, before one might suffer a heart attack. A sudden lifestyle change during covid shouldn't have resulted in any change to present day heart attack rates. But it did.

There is data pointing at two possible causes here. The first is neat and politically palatable. Covid increases the risk of heart attack. (https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-00403-0#:~:text=M...).

The second, much more contentious fact is that mRNA vaccines elevate the risk of heart attack. (https://www.bmj.com/content/378/bmj.o1554) In fact, Danish research currently indicates that those who have taken the mRNA vaccines are at greater risk of all-cause mortality. (https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4072489). Note that this paper is currently in peer review. It is receiving more scrutiny than perhaps any other paper in history. There are literally trillions of dollars on the line. Using public, global data, the Danish researcher finds that one is more likely to die after taking the mRNA vaccines, even after accounting for the protective effects against covid. Interview here for those interested (https://unherd.com/thepost/study-into-mrna/).

I think it likely that the increase in heart attacks is a combination of both of these factors.

Disclaimer: I have taken three mRNA vaccines.
According to this https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/RRVRUSQ156N the rental occupancy rate has never been over 95% since 1960, which makes me doubt everything you say afterwards. At best you believe your local market is representative of the whole country. Also "collusion" as you were taught is wrong, there is literally no collusion here. Collusion requires agreement, only agreement here is between a market research firm and a landlord.
The sonar ping is what transmits over great distance - that's why it's used.

Rust will never make it to the frontend at scale. There is a reason why JS was invented. People doing frontend dev don't want to bother with slow compile time or 3 strings implementation.

And the fast argument is missleading at best, every modern language are "fast" enough, if Amazon and Google runs Java that mean it's fast enough for 99% of workload.
My JB Elephant-in-the-room is the awful performance. I'm complaining instead of having switched, since I haven't found anything and powerful for multi-file projects in Rust, and Python.

“Give”.

Taiwan have been preparing for this war since its inception. Taiwan will be going to war without Western support and I think most Taiwanese would prefer Taiwan burnt to the ground before surrendering without a fight.

If someone invaded my country there would be two outcomes: we win or I’m dead.
Bingo. The support cost of MFA, especially non-SMS methods where some of the recovery process is delegated to the mobile operator, is the top-level bit.

It’s frustrating to see technical people discount or ignore that side of the deployment work, because that’s the kind of issue that actually blocks most security and cryptography measures in practice.

If I had a thousand dollars for every time I heard “just make the user keep a key safe” I could fund so much UX research :)
Let's hope then that aliens coming here will be vegan.

We're not intelligent enough yet not to harm others, or to go to other star systems, or even other galaxies. Would we be considered intelligent, or a source of protein?
> The question is whether we can communicate our mathematics to non-humans, whose senses may be radically different from our own.

I'm not sure why people find this so relevant. Regardless of the sense, there must be enough discernible structure to detect whether 0 of something is there, whether 1 of something is there, or whether there are many more than 1.

Human sense of smell might top out at differentiating maybe 4 or 5 different things, dogs can probably sense a lot more, but either way it lets us set up basic counting, and that's generally all you need for most of our math.
I also highly recommend The Prince.

But I don't buy this argument. TSMC is a factor, sure. In that it likely increases the cost of war. The PRC shouldn't expect that by invading, they'll win TSMC (the company, the tech, the talent, the market share).
This 100%. Yes those functions are easy but that isn't the issue with 2fa, it's the people. I just had a customer send in a ticket that their account from 3 years ago had 2fa enabled. They didn't remember setting that up, clearly had a new phone since then. These quick clickbait articles never bring up those subjects and how to properly address them.

Also had a firewall rule that dropped NTP packets and took 3 months for the click to drift before anyone with 2fa codes couldn't log in anymore.
What is an alien other than a biological being from another planet? We have biological beings on Earth that share DNA with us but possess wildly different intelligences and cognitive systems. Is it a stretch to use these as examples that aliens may share little in common with us?
Are you certain that AI is used in any of the tech that the US is sending to Ukraine?

It's mostly cold war era equipment, designed around the '90s or earlier. Modern AI also seems very failure-prone for military applications around populated areas.
